Lookout Pass - Montana

So here is the deal. Another huge storm is blowing in so we had to make a decision. Not make any money at all this week, or bite the bullet and chain up and head out. So we decided to chain up. We left Spokane and headed east. I drove for about an hour and then we had to chain. It was showing chains were advised but not mandatory. So we kept going the first part past Coeur D'Alene for about 10 miles, then there was a chain up area at the bottom of Lookout Pass and we decided we better chain. The roads were horrible and more people were chaining than were not, so we figured we better chain and be safe. J did a great job getting the chains on and it only took about 30 minutes or so. Once we made it over the pass, going up at about 30 and coming down at about 15 mph, then it only took about 20 minutes to get them off. I have added some pictures for yall. We are glad to be back on the road though. We chould get this load in Sunday morning and it should have been there Thursday morning. But what can ya do when ya can't control the weather??

Oh, and in case you are wondering, there is a reason the trailer is white. I guess Schneider bid on some Estes loads and we picked up this trailer from Estes, and it is a reefer unit and it says Wal-Mart on the back. But we weren't using the reefer, they were just using it as a dry box van. Funny thing, we stopped at a Pilot in Missoula and there were two other Schneider trucks there with the same trailers. We must have all picked up at the same location in Auburn.
