    When I was driving log truck in Idaho. I did have experienced drivers show me how it was done and made it easy.

    Wolfe Creek pass got me twice this winter but I also had to chain up all winter just to get up my driveway. I really need to find some lower elevation to park at during the winter.

    I had to watch a YouTube video in North Dakota on a blizzard on 3G because I lied and told them I knew how to chain before getting hired. Probably took me 2 hours in all that cold and blowing snow after watching the video. And then I made it half a mile before getting stuck behind a truck in a snow drift across the road.

    Normally at the start of winter it takes me about 60 minutes to get used to throwing chains again. By the end of winter 15-20 minutes to chain all the drives. Little more if I'm already stuck

    California Hwy 299 from Redding to Arcata. Empty lumber truck. .I had to chain four times. One was just a set of singles but the other three were full chains. By the third time I had it pretty well figured out. There were five of us all running together and we helped each other.

    I thought they bashed into the side of the feed store there?
    The tunnel was way up the road?
