    Hell, I’d run a single chain on the steers in the woods for steering.

    When the fun starts is after your stuck.

    So many in the East or Mid West unless they run the mountain west or to the west coast never have that feeling of seeing Chain Law in effect sign.

    I learned when the weather gets bad find a nice spot and camp out. With a Good restaurant .

    So many adventures in my younger days I learned.

    I had to live up to my Nick Name I got teased about my winter survival gear.

    Problem was the road flash freeze on me. I was trying to make to a truck stop about a mile down the road on the highway I was on. Took a corner at about 15mph truck jacked and I went into the guard rail. Still got a big scar on my hand where I hit the door.

    Pretty much for everyone!

    I hear media Hype about massive Driver shortages and no freight and companies closing every week.

    Do the best you can!
