The previous night Donner Pass was closed to all truck traffic. So I found a nice place to sleep in one of the PetSmart store docks for the night. (with permission from the store of course). I woke up nice and early grabbed some Starbucks and watched closely the Cal DOT site for updates. At about 5:30AM PT they opened the pass to trucks with the stipulation that you had to follow max chain law.

Knowing this info I changed my clothes and prepared to roll on the ground in the slushy snow and chain my truck appropriately. I also had the foresight to set out a change of clothes because I knew I was going to be super wet and would need them.

Before I even started chaining my truck, my day was going to drastically change. Trucking is not always pretty, and it's definitely not always comfortable and safe, but we can do what we can to make things a little less hazardous. Learning my lesson the hard way.

Please be safe. I wish you all a safe trip.
