Question for experienced Truckers. Does chaining the tires in snow make it better or worse while driving?

Better, I was in Reno going down the Donners pass, And it was snowing bad. They had us out on chain to go down the mountain.

Chains to make it better and a little more safer, some highways let you go through, unless you have chains I want from Los Angeles to Oregon and Eureka California we have mandatory training in the mountains right now in Los Angeles it is 57° coming through Eureka yesterday was 10° just be careful and take your time and if you’re truck do not slam on the brakes and do not turn the wheel certainly just gave me a little bit of gas, and it will regain traction to be able to pull over

Hey Jas, I’m in Tipton, IA reporting a load. It’s a lot of truckers that didn’t shut down when they should’ve last night. These roads is horrible and I’m driving tonight, but I’m going to take my time and be safe like you said. Always put God first (in Jesus name) and then remember simulation training JUST SLOW DOWN! That load appointment time can be changed so, keep in touch with your DM and trust your knowledge. If you don’t feel safe park it, but take your time. DON’T LET NO ONE RUSH YOU! They can go around. Praying for your safety, stay prayed up and I’ll see you soon.

Fellow Prime driver here. I left the SLC terminal yesterday morning. Got to the Loves at Ontario, OR and stopped for the night. Tried to get past Cabbage Hill last night but chain laws were in effect. Not throwing chains because I threw out my back last winter while chaining. Its 1700 now and still at the Loves. Chain laws are still in effect and I-84 westbound is now closed due to multiple accidents. I keep updating dispatch expecially not throwing chains. They will either repower or report to the 90 and get a new appt date. Be safe out there!!!
