I put on a drag the other night in San Antonio. Too much traffic, and way too slick. Last thing I wanted was to lay on the brakes for some reason, and put some guy's wife and kids into a guard rail.

I wouldn’t put a drag chain on unless I was in WA or OR and going past a checkpoint. Even after ID started saying you needed them on I-90 we all just kept throwing our 3 railers and rolling.bentstrider83, Cowboyrich, D.Tibbitt and 1 other person Thank this.

Oops when did ID start requiring drags?

I forget the year, but they came out with an official “chain requirement” for Lookout and 4th of July. I doubt anyone that runs there often pays much attention to it.

Oh D. Tibbitt...
I’m delivering in Wenatchee WA on Thursday. Then get a load heading back to Denver. Don’t know where the load will come from?
I’m wondering if I shouldn’t bother to wash my truck?D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
Im not sure.. I was debating the same thing to myself.... Should i waste 80 bucks on a truck and trailer wash only to get it covered in dirt and salt.... I think i will hold off till some more warmer weather and melts the snowBrettj3876 and WesternPlains Thank this.

Got my truck washed last week and have managed to keep it clean so far. I even went over Donner Pass today on my way to Denver, and I fully expected the snow melt to make a mess of things, but I was nice and dry for the entire drive. I may hit some rain/snow mix on my way back to CA on Thursday..
