Snow Chains Are Required To Descend Cabbage Hill

[@Boomistirr]

the baker truck corral in ats looks exactly the same to its real life counterpart!

[@Myotradventure]

It sure does! This is one of the things I really like about ATS; the accurate recreation of real trucking places.

Hey Rick, ya got yourself a new sub. I'm a P&D driver for XPO in Westchester cnty NY. Did a 3 week stint with Swift last year, my first trucking job. Drove all over the country in those 3 weeks, I enjoyed it. Things didn't work out there so I went local with XPO and it's going great, getting experience , good pay, bennies, health ins., etc. After a year I'm give it another shot doing OTR, but I want some experience first so I don't have to ride with a trainer, not doing that again. Thanks for the upload , have a good day driver!

[@Myotradventure]

Awesome David Remy, welcome to the adventure! After at least a couple of years total driving experience, you'll have better options for joining one of the better large OTR companies. Best of luck!

I retired at the end of March, I used to run team to the west coast, we used to”socks” instead of chains, which are acceptable to DOT, you can’t go over 25 mph, even slower is better.

[@Myotradventure]

I might have explored using socks if I knew they were a thing when I first bought chains.

[@aYahron]

Your simulated drives are good but I think I like the real drives more.

[@Myotradventure]

Thanks, I plan to release one of my IRL trucking videos each Thursday until I run out of them sometime next year.

I do this every winter :) But there is no "Chain Required" laws here (Exept when there is convoys going over the mountains due to snow storms). It is otherwise up to the driver to decide when to use chains. But if you choose to not use chains and go of the road, you can be a heap of trouble. I'f you're too light, you wont get traction without snow chains, and if you're too heavy, you lose too much speed uphill without snow chains. So better safe than sorry.

[@Myotradventure]

Thanks for sharing!

[@davidlance3950]

This is the first time and I don’t know win I seen you driving a legit truck. Because it’s usually a simulator! At least from what I’ve seen anyway!

[@Myotradventure]

Wow; I do have over 250 real life trucking videos on my channel. Not too many in the past year, though.

[@1114jordan082]

Buddy if you don’t park that truck it’s not worth it

[@Myotradventure]

Just a little snow 😀

Thanks Charles; although I don't do this kind of driving these days.
