Is it just my semi lol

today was a wonderful day in a freezer. I was just wondering, am I the only semiwho had a rough wheel spinning day It wasnt too bad when I had 90% of the weight on the drive axles but when I was empty I did everything possible to avoid stopping. I did see a Kenworth end dump that had to be pushed up the circle on-ramp by a Payloader, so I wasnt the only one.

The joys of winter driving in Sask....
Sounds like it`s almost time for tires chains if your just driving around town.

The streets in Regina are getting real icy too and snow drifts everywhere don't help either.

Lots of ruts in Saskatoon, you would think the City might at least clean off the main streets.

I cant believe some of the ruts in saskatoon. I went to check out some seats at an apartment on 7th street, and the ruts are around a foot deep!

When the ruts are a foot deep that`s when it pays to drive a big 4X4!

A shoe lace would almost do it for a cavaliar but then again, why bother...........

After the last few days in the city I was wishing I had 4X4. Today with it melting it was even worse.
