came across the great divide one January, and the snow was so back that the only thing you could see was the big trucks tail light that was in front of me, i followed those light thru that storm, and i thanked God for him every minute i was driving.

I think the rule is use the same gear you would climb the hill with.

Use the jake and brake firmly and regularly as you approach redline.

(And keep a tightly puckered ***hole.)

My wife and I are truckers, this morning we ( I drove) went across the pass. I love the thrill of the ride in most cases (it gets the blood flow'in). No other pass in america has ever made me be so cautious. The switch back turns (one at 25 mph, I thought I was going to turn the truck over), sharp curvs, 7% & 8% up and down, no shoulder or guard rail with river inches away (river washed right up to the hiway) , and all the other aspects make me think this is probley the most dangerous in america

I was reading through the comments and got to your comment at the same time McCall sang it

My dad use to be a trucker and he told me the only road that ever gave him pause or made him even remotely nervous was "the wolf"

He aint never been truckin in northern Canada....I was coming down the pine pass bc over the micromwave tower hill and the snow was so thick i couldn't hardly see the front of my 379 pete, i just kept her steady and kept on truckin only doing 40km an hour with an empty chip trailer and when i got home i checked my pants for a brown spot and thanked the good lord for keeping me on this earth for another day

A real classic. C.W. McCall is my childhood favorite.

[kdraper2007]

if you think this is funny then you should listen to C.W.'s other songs like "Classified" or "crispy Critters".

in 05 i crossed it with a load of chain link fence from pueblo goin to pegosa,on a 48'spread . A memory ill never forget. The load of hay that would have braught me back to Tx. fell threw. And the only thing that paid any good was a 48000lb load of plywood out of montross going to albikircey? NM. Red Mountian pass will put the hurt on a driver.
