February of 1979 I drove down Cabbage Pass westerly bound in a snow storm in my 1978 International CabOver. Single Axle. 290 Cummins 10 Speed Transmission pulling 45 foot dry van. No chains. I was 22 yrs old. I was the last one down before they closed the road. There was a truck stop at the bottom that I pulled into. Best coffee and cigarettes I ever had. Retired from driving in 2019. Y’all be safe out there. Peace
I run Fontana, Ca to Denver weekly. Chaining is a part of life. I have been driving since 81 and at 67 years old and chaining sucks period. I have my own authority and run three trucks for dedicated customers in snow conditions. The real facts are 90% of the time its quicker to wait it out and the other 10% chains or socks are the only way. I'm old school and had a hard time warming up to the idea of socks instead of chains. Socks actually seem to have better traction in most conditions than chains but can't be put on in dry pavement, Socks also requires a professional driver to use them. Not advised for steering wheel holders that have no throttle control spinning them instantly destroys them. I have one driver who has used the same set of socks for three years and have another driver who can't even get three years on a set of chains. Bottom line is chain-up early in the dry or sit it out and wait for the plows either way chaining isn't rocket science. #1 Tip practice in the summer know your equipment and carry food, water, and blankets. AND DON'T be afraid to ask for help
Eff that! I'm at home enjoying fresh coffee, and no work, I quit! 25 years, I'm done, hopefully, gonna try to start a home business! Wish me luck drivers! LOL :)
My first time chaining was over cabbage and I will never chain again. Road was clear..my company runs flimsy cables. All I'm going to say is cables are a pain to get untangled from your axles. Live and learn, no damage but it was quite the situation in the middle of the night soaking wet.
“If you don’t know how to throw chains when you come up here” .... I was waiting for some super trucker nonsense, but instead ... “ask.” I learned how to chain on the side of the road in Snoqualmie pass in the middle of the night. It took 4 hours and it wasn’t a great time. Some truck drivers are selfish jerkoffs, but there are still some out here who look out for one another. I appreciate them both, but much prefer the latter. Thank you for being the latter.
You're right Jerry, I missed that, good catch! They are cool truckers aren't they, and apparently, so are you! GLAD to see some still exist, thanks folks, I just might have to get back on the road next month, after a 3 month hiatus!!!! LOL :)
I remember back in 2002, right before Thanksgiving, heading with greenboard out of Yakima, heading up Cabbage. I stopped overnight just after coming out of Washington. The road was mandatory chains. I woke up the next morning and was about to go inside of the truckstop to buy more chains as Arrow only outfitted their trucks with the minimum number. Their idea was, if you had conditions where you needed to chain up, then park it. I heard over the CB from the truckstop that the chain warning was lifted. I went inside for some coffee and got the hell up the mountain before the weather decided to change. The road was cleared pretty well and had zero problem getting up the hill. You're right about drivers waiting too long to chain up. Do it before you get into the weather.
@Steve Robertson apparently you don't live or work in the Pacific Northwest. Yes, chains can be used in emergencies, that's obvious. But yes, they are also used daily by some drivers in the winter months. In Washington State, in deep winter, there are no options. If you have a regular route which takes you over the pass on a daily basis, chaining is factored into your trip planning, period. In some cases, you may be chaining several times a day (or night). It's part of the job. It has nothing to do with lack of experience. It's simply a fact of life here.
@Steve Robertson no one is "forced" to chain that really doesn't want to. Just like you, everyone has the choice to work at a carrier that does not require it. But I've never known a driver that doesn't know going into a job whether chaining is a company's policy or not. If they don't think to ask when applying or interviewing, that's on them. Yes, chaining can be a hassle, but it's only a few months out of the year, and the rest of the year is a breeze. With all due respect, to say no load is worth the hassle of putting chains on is naive. As I said, and you should know, here in the PNW it's simply a way of life, unless you happen to believe that commerce ought to be put on hold during the winter between Eastern and Western Washington and Oregon to prevent drivers from being inconvenienced.
@Steve Robertson it is a way of life, if you happen to work for a company that happens to have regular, daily or nightly routes that take you over I-90, for example. I've worked for those companies, and there are many of them. There have been times when I've chained nightly for weeks at a time, the pass is closed because of avalanche clearing or multiple crashes/spinouts which can be anywhere from 2-3 hours to a full day, when I have 8 hours to get across the pass and back, before having to do it again the next night. If a driver works for a company that coerces drivers to act illegally-unsafely, that driver is free to leave that company and find another. If the driver stays that's his/her decision.
Word to the wise: don't be a filthy steering wheel holder. Chain up when you need to or park somewhere safe before you need them. I've driven in these conditions in Northern Canada, without chains. It is doable, but I still had them for the couple times I needed them at poorly maintained truckstops.
Guys are right. In oregon if the sign says put them chains on u had better put them on. If u get stopped u will be shut down till the chains are on. It dont matter if the plows come and take every bit of snow off if that sign is lit it means put them on. I live in Oregon and u are right.
I drove in the US an Canada. I found Oregon was overboard on their chain up requirements. Saying that, there are a lot of drivers from the deep south that have never driven n the snow. I grew up in BC across the line. For me I would rarely have chain up hauling doubles. But I drove those conditions 4 months a year, sometimes in unplowed snow 10 inches
Yes, there’s a lot of passes worse than cabbage, it’s probably one of the safer ones. They told me to always check the equipment at the top if you want to get to the bottom, and remember to never go down a grade in a higher gear or than you climbed it in.
Back in 1992 I was driving for Artic express an dispatched me to go to the first exit in Utah an back into Or.to pick up a load an when I came out of Washington state on to interstate 84 east it was snowing like crazy an I went up over cabbage patch without my chains an didn't have any problems an didn't have any problems with the 3 mile climb either I just kept moving at nice speed an my power divider engaged.
When your chains are on tight around the tire you can barely hear them on the road. Also wen their on tight you lengthen the life expediency of the product.
Cabbage Hill has got very strict chain laws... by the time they lift the chain law.... the highway is littered with broken chains... people collect and Salvage those chains!
@@belindaphillips2779 I am yet to meet one. Power tripping egomaniacs with a gun and the ability to fine you with a ‘your word against mine’ arguement. Never talk to cops, anything you say can and will be used AGAINST you.
Your passing people doing 20mph? With your load wht on chains you can do 30-35 & be fine. A heavy load 20-25 so you don't damage the chains. But these nobs doing 10mph are the danger because you got to keep changing lanes to get around them. It's so bad on I 5 when I chained I would just stay in the hammer lane if I was light. I loved chaining because the scenery is better when your going slow enough to enjoy it.
We were kids when we started driving truck, new would be a understatement, young and dumb, we didn't start driving after we knew it all, we were scared and took our time to learn and it made us much better drivers than people who wanted a new start, some of us actually wanted to drive truck, others had a midlife crisis and decided to drive truck, that's a newbie
"Survived chaining up "? Anyone else notice the bare asphalt in the right lane, and the sciff of snow in the left? You don't even need chains to run that! OR is notorious for throwing up the chain law on Cabbage when it's unnecessary, causing damage to your chains and the road. Not to mention the time loss.
Well first you spelled Faggot wrong. And I believe you talking about the jimmy hoffa who was an American labor union leader who served as the President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the guy who is supposed to buried under a football stadium.
Wow not again. Speed Kills ! Slow Down People ! And Be Smart, Turn Your Lights On When Driving In Snow Or Rain. Drive with your Full Lights On, Not just running lights because they only light up the front of some cars. With full lights on It will turn on all lights in your car including the rear ones, that way people coming up from behind you may see you somewhat better. Just my opinion and Please Buckle Up and don't exit car until safe to do so. I have lived In a snow state for 55 Years so I think my advice could help someone i hope.
You are right. Winters in OR/WA they are not too bad. Oregon very often requires full chain up when easily just two of them would be needed. Very often the chain law is in effect when the roads are almost dry, like this video, damaging/breaking chains and the road as well.
Karen Ricci the difference is the temperatures. Down here in the PNW the temps are warmer, making what we drive on deceptively treacherous. What we get is wetter snow that gets packed down, freezes, thaws, refreezes, and gets more wet snow on top. It makes for a whole lot of slop we drive through. I know personally and have heard from other people from around the country who have been here or moved here and realize that it’s different here.
I drove for 20 years and have been over that pass many times and all of the west passes and I went by the philosophy of the load will get there by June or July screw that chaining you still don't know what's under the snow
Cabbage Hill?? Dead Mans Pass??? Where did you come up with that handle for Cabbage? I ran up and down Cabbage for almost 40 years and never thought of it has a danger!
There is an exit there with a sign that says Dead Man pass. But yeah, Cabbage PATH isn't so bad. It's called Cabbage Path because a long time a go a truck hauling cabbage spilled his load, and the cabbages were rolling down for miles.
Actually, that’s not true. It’s a popular story drivers tell, I halfway believed it until I researched it. It’s been known as Cabbage Hill since the early 1900s because of the large cabbage patches the early residents had on top of the hill.
Aw man that’s what I’ll be dealing with? I just moved to Myrtle Creek Oregon I run the I-5 Corridor I’ve never chained up before and I don’t know how I need to learn ASAP winter is coming.
Been driving for 3yrs but Local Intermodel for JB Hunt in California but I just moved to Oregon in August and running Regional for Legend Transportion now lol I’ll be learning how to chain up for sure this winter!
This is the place where I had to chain up on a black road, chain advisory was on so I had to. And guess what happened, I broke all my chains. I was rookie then, it was my first time chaining.
Yep I have had to do a Lot of that on I 84 over the Year's I Drove O.T.R. Mis the west coast Beauty the Mountains the pines .Some times their no place to park.Almost got pushed off by A Night Driver he had no chains or cables on his tires I was around mm 223 as I was passing him he was sliding into my lane.
why do you have chains on when the pavement is black.... ware those chains out. i drive this all the time and wait till im on snow pack to chain. like where these guys are or a lil higher. guys its not a problem right here easy going
I don't take Cabbage in the Winter. Also I84 has 178 mi bridge along Hood River. If you add up exits, it is less mileage going I25 To I90 God sakes call 511. I've chained through Montana passes and Snoqualmie. I'm coward. He he he
Yes, wait for the government to come and bail you out. The government said put on chains before proceeding but that they ignored because they don’t want the government telling them what to do. 🤡
Chains!!!!!!!! What for???? Do you get paid more to drive in that muck????? I live in the southeast I have not done that in 10 years and I make 65 cpm and all flat roads ok have fun
Paul Lombardo maybe everyone should move out of Washington/Oregon/Idaho, or maybe we should just flatten all these mountains out..? We happen to live here, and going over these passes is simply the way it works around here.
I agree, California does that too, makes you chain when it's not even snowing. I have driven my truck over many highways in that condition, minor highways in Ore, Wash, Montana etc where there was not chain enforcement. I did just fine, driving cautiously of course. I will not chain up; I'd rather wait until they lift the chain requirement, which usually isn't very long.
Never was a need for tire chains in that video. Bare pavement the entire way. I drive cabbage I-84 two or more times a month every winter. I don’t throw iron unless it’s snow pack. Never would I chain in those conditions. 30 plus years experience. Don’t listen to swift and c r England and j b hunt line haul eastern drivers. They don’t know anything about snow.
Not always probably after the third time you’ll start to see a little wear and tear but also depends on if your driving on bare pavement or ice and snow
A tip: Chain should be at least fingertip tight and secure tag link (not talking to Kip and Jake) For chains, buy a Pewag #205 Mini Combo Tool (combination tire thumper and cam tightener) for leverage you will get your chains on super tight with that tool (search azzieenterprises.com for the tool...made in the USA)

Those trucks on the side chaining didnt drive thru a drift to pull over, clearly a plow came thru since they've been pulled over
When I sold my truck it had a full set of chains 15 years old brand new never used!!!

Well,we never claimed to know it all but we do the the difference between two and too.
@@KipandJake really that's the best you got 🤔🤔🤔🤔 guess I touched a nerve but have a great day.
Yup we’re too busy being adults and working
Is that why they invented chains , so people could park with them ?
and they're laying on a king size bed together why ?
Phil Sanfilippo we are married that’s why
@@KipandJake lmao that's some funny shit right there keep doing your thing drivers
Kip and Jake You are married to each other?
Yes

Of course we are
There seems to be a shortage of Sanders and snow plows when snowstorm is happening
what do teams do on their downtime? are they mostly lovers?
"PANAMA RELOC ATION TOURS! WITH JACKIE!🙋😊👍❤👈"
Yeah that cops helping him out of some money
Sounds right
Chains!!!!!!!! What for???? Do you get paid more to drive in that muck????? I live in the southeast I have not done that in 10 years and I make 65 cpm and all flat roads ok have fun
Paul Lombardo maybe everyone should move out of Washington/Oregon/Idaho, or maybe we should just flatten all these mountains out..? We happen to live here, and going over these passes is simply the way it works around here.
with this kind of weather how do u maintain the same speed when going down a steep hill ?
You go at a much slower rate. It actually works out well
Watching during Quarantine 2020
Your comment says "6 months ago" and guess what... Im watching during Quarantine 2020 STILL
@@Daruma_Studio 😷 Wild ride we on
@@badnewzdaassassin9745 For real dude. Cant wait until shit calms down. Take care of yourself out there brother
If the lights are blinking you should be parked
Who are these two newbies
I hate that pass in the summer.
He getting ticket for no chains
Chains for that leave it to Oregon to funny
I agree, California does that too, makes you chain when it's not even snowing. I have driven my truck over many highways in that condition, minor highways in Ore, Wash, Montana etc where there was not chain enforcement. I did just fine, driving cautiously of course. I will not chain up; I'd rather wait until they lift the chain requirement, which usually isn't very long.
I don’t miss it at all lol
Little late on the story but I didn’t see anything on that trailer that had to go anywhere in those conditions end of story
2019 the worst weather on cabbage bad bad bad
Never was a need for tire chains in that video. Bare pavement the entire way. I drive cabbage I-84 two or more times a month every winter. I don’t throw iron unless it’s snow pack. Never would I chain in those conditions. 30 plus years experience. Don’t listen to swift and c r England and j b hunt line haul eastern drivers. They don’t know anything about snow.
Rowland Loewen need or not, when the chain law is in effect, you chain or you don’t go.
I hear what your saying but everybody was chaining, so i guess it was worse than you thought
These individuals have no respect for their fellow drivers when passing them on the shoulder, ignorance...!!!!
Dean Ferrell so where would you like us to pass them in the lane that wasn’t cleared?
How does using chains affect your gas mileage?
No biggie, you should be going slower and hopefully not too far so better mpg.
Its not gas its diesel fuel. And chains arent supposed to be used for a long distance, just to get out of bad weathet on hill/mountain areas
I would never drive again as long as they have that stupid eld in effect
Theres exemptions for it. I run paper logs still
ARE YOU TALKING BLUE MTNS? OR BETWEEN LAGRANDE AND BAKER CABBAGE HILL?
Oregon
Yes they are! Ive had to chain up 5 times on that run once!
Between la grande and pendleton
drove there before!
Your chains aren't on tight because you can hear them go round n round
Not sure what that means?
Super truckers chain up
Huh?
the way u two sound yal problem chain up to each other.
What exactly is the point of that comment? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
...a fkn jackass comment
Hahaha, omg newbs
👌
Nothing to learn here. Just a driving video.
My question would be is your co driver logging in the sleeper birth?
lol who wants to sleep such weather like that stay alert stay awake in case shit happens
Do the chains wear out quick?
Not always probably after the third time you’ll start to see a little wear and tear but also depends on if your driving on bare pavement or ice and snow
They do if you chain and run on dry pavement without snow or ice
Rookie...I've got shoes older than you have experience...
And....
Going to oregon is this a vacation?
When I get to that point I just shut down I shut down on Deadman's pass just for rain it has to be perfect for me to drive it
Probably should find a new career.
Deadly weather id just shut the truck down at a truckstop honestly.....Respect to the drivers for the Bravery!!
lol is all I can I say ,,,newbies
...shup up you two
A tip: Chain should be at least fingertip tight and secure tag link (not talking to Kip and Jake) For chains, buy a Pewag #205 Mini Combo Tool (combination tire thumper and cam tightener) for leverage you will get your chains on super tight with that tool (search azzieenterprises.com for the tool...made in the USA)
l would take more weight anyday
