    Make sure you have enough chains. I think that Oregon will fine drivers big time if they don't have enough chains, but then again I'm not 100% sure.

    Badlands T/S in Kadoka, SD. Real easy to spend money in this place, large assortment of Strugis wear! No longer going to Helena, their stuff is getting pulled off in Billings. Screwed up my plans of resetting in Helena and getting some laundry done but it's all good. Should hit Lakewood either Sunday night or Monday morning.

    i have enough chains just the crosslinks are now broken on most of them. i dont plan on using them. and the chain law is lifted, for now. from what i checked earlier i dont think they are getting tooooo much snow tonight or tomorrow so i might be ok. i will keep checking. im still not going anywhere near those hills in the dark so im just staying put for the night.

    A great day went to hell...Woke up at 5am for 6am unload in Great Falls, MT, 2hrs for that...Next load is in Great Falls but I need to go to Helena, 1.5hrs both ways to drop off bad reefer and pick up dry van for nice 2300 miler to Palmyra, PA(not home which is where I should have been going)...Go into shop and tell Kenner about trailer, he asks me what my truck number is and 5hrs later I'm out of there with an alignment...I did meet 2 other TTR members, SuperG and Allen?(said he doesn't post but is a member, sorry if I didn't remember your name correctly...)Back in Great Falls I spend another 2.5hrs getting loaded, go to pilot to scale and of course, I'm 2000 over on drives and spend next 45 minutes trying to break tandems free....<200 mile day, out of time now, pissed....I will do mega-miles over the next 3 days but today was not worth waking up for, cept to meet some good people!...

    Oh, and my tractor got hit last night here...Something woke me up, but you know when you get woke up you don't always know why, it wasn't like the tractor was shaking or anything so didn't think anything of it...Do my walk around and see the damage to my right compartment...I don't remember who was parked next to me...Took some pics and called Mr Dodge, waiting to hear back from him...Nothing major, minor dent and some scraped paint, but noticeable...

    Well my friends and fellow forum-ers, it has come time for truckerdaddy24 to move along, Watkins and Shepard has been good to me, I have landed a very good job still OTR but regional and home more often, I had plans to leave a notice but after making $180.00 in 3 days and no promise I will get out of SFS for the weekend I have asked that I be allowed to turn my truck in at the Phx. Terminal, I am leaving here with loads of knowledge some from my friends here on the forum and some from other drivers with W/S,:biggrin_25514: I will keep in touch with those of you who want me too, I can not say a bad thing about W/S as they gave me a chance to come here and learn and after almost getting the bus ticket home in orientation I have made it to my 6 month mark. I wish all of you the best, W/S will go on and so will I, I will tell anyone that calls or PMs me where I'm goung but I don't find it proper in this thread.

    Take Care be safe, I will see you down the road. TD24
