What An Experience!

Good job! My first time in snow and ice with a set was interesting I didn't do it in the mountain. Them single axle day cabs do not get much traction lol.
Day Cab:
A tractor which does not have a sleeper berth attached to it. Normally used for local routes where drivers go home every night.
As long as there are chains on and taking it easy, it should be ok.
Thanks! Ya that’s true lol i wouldn’t wanna bobtail in that weather in a single axle. I was nervous for a bit, down hills is what spooked me lol

Bobtail:
"Bobtailing" means you are driving a tractor without a trailer attached.

Single axle day cabs are quite the interesting unit! I do like the rear visibility and the turning. I haven't had one out in midwest weather with a set, but good to know that you had a good first trip!

There not bad. I drive a twin screw today n it felt weird lol
I chained by myself today n surprisingly nailed it without having to redo any lol but soon as I put them on and rolled they cleaned the roads and took off the chain requirements. Smh

Good timing! Some of our trucks carry chains but in Nebraska we don't have any chain requirements, so I'm not sure if I'll get to experience the joy of chains
OD doesn't provide them unless required by law. And as far as I know if you need them they don't want you on the road but that maybe different in the rockies.
We don't have them here thankfully so I will never have to deal with them.

Here, either. But for the NEW peeps, This is how NOT to do it !!!
It's kinda sad, but even a 'non driver' like me would have more common sense, oh well!
Sorry, Western guy/gal !

Well Monday night they had us go to Salt Lake City. Layed over and got a call if I wanted to go to Denver. I said why not will be good money. Going there easy. On way back was different story lol should note I came up with my buddy another driver who was following. We had to stop and chain and go over a hazmat route (the 6) that was a bit scary being my first time driving in snow lol wasn’t bad tho wasn’t like a foot of snow on the road haha. Finally made it and they asked us to go to Denver again tonight. We’ll see what tonight brings
