    Is it not legal to have chains hang on a headache rack? They are raising the cash advance limit not the fuel purchase limit. However they may raise your limit when you have to start buying def

    I was talking about snow chains, they said they dont put them on the trucks because they dispear. And they'd rather pay the tickets we get for not haveing them then continously replace chains. Which i have a problem with, hence why we should have a box/catwalk with tire chains locked in there.


    Oh cash advance limit....well idc about that lol I dont take advances. If def comes out of whatever limit we have they better start increaseing it, i hit the limit without def lol

    Gotya. My old truck had 3 non-functional snow chains in the black box, couldn't've. Used them if I needed to. I agree with the ticket issue, I don't care if they'll pay us back it shouldn't be an issue to begin with. They'll probably have to raise the limit soon if diesel keeps going up.

    10 wide and legal height. You are also required to stop at the first toll booth and buy a toll road permit for $15 in cash.
