Parked on ice

That is gross.........wearing socks on the beach.

 

Ive gone into docks and refused to back in unless they gave me salt/sand to put under my tires before I parked before... This one place I remember vividly was a complete sheet of ice. They said they never had a problem with anyone getting stuck there before. I flat refused unless I got salt. They gave it to me. The 3 other trucks that got there after me had to be towed out...

 

Ground up corn cobs work surprisingly well. Most all feed mills will give that stuff away.

I also drag my trailer brakes a little when coming into parking lot. Put some heat I to them and dry out moisture if you been driving in rain,snow. Do not set trailer brakes.

 

I've had no problems using salt.

I prefer melting over just simply trying for traction.

A little in the front and back and sides of each tire. A little more around the actual power tires.

Remember, Rock Salt becomes ineffective below 20 degrees and might not work in single digit temps.

 

"they never had a problem, with anyone getting stuck"...is cuz "they did not go outside and help push....or had to call for a tow"...

"they" were all snug as a bug in a rug, and went to coffee break, or lunch, or home when thier shift ended..

so of course..."they had no problems"

 

viola = "wa lah", it's French.

New Ulm is beautiful. There is an old POW camp there (1 of 2 surviving in the US), its now a state park. A lot of German speaking people and architecture.
