    Anyone got a good source for 20' chains and snap-binders?

    Ironically my KW dealer seems rather competitive at $16 a binder and $33 a chain.
    Even if they are a bit cheaper online somewhere, the shipping will kill me I am sure.

    Where do you guys get chains or binders from?
    My local Petro doesn't stock any...

    I've bought them from Truckntow.com before, but like you say, shipping is a killer.

    If you get through the St. Louis area much, this place is pretty good: http://tristore.ehost-services159.com/ ,Tri City Canvas in Granite City, IL.

    Or if you're not in too big a hurry, look around and find someone getting out of the flatbed biz, I think there's an ad right now in the classified section from someone selling their flatbed equipment.

    That is actually a pretty good price on them.
    I have bought them from truckpro & gotten good prices on them also.
    Forget about the petro,you can buy 2 or 3 of each from kenworth for what they will charge you for one.

    Check ebay.

    Sometimes you will see someone selling out. Could be local or worth a couple hundred mile drive....
