[QUOTE="soberups, post: 449364, member: 14668"] There arent as many hills in the Midwest. I have driveways on my route that are a 12% grade, with multiple hairpin turns. I go from 175 feet above sea level up to 1200 feet....which means it can be raining down low and 8" of snow up high. People in the Midwest are more accustomed to deep snow. They plow their driveways and salt the roads. The county I live in only has two snowplows, and it is illegal to salt the roads. As far as the chains go, every package car in our fleet has a set, and there are several pallets of spare chains in the auto shop. I left the building yesterday with 6 sets of chains...1 installed on each tire, and two spares in case I broke any. We dispatched soemthing like 235 routes yesterday and every car chained up before leaving the building. It makes for quite the traffic jam in the AM. [/QUOTE]
