    Did a quick search but didn't see anything and forgot to bring up in orientation last month nor was it covered.

    If I decide to run West...and that's a big IF but I want to keep my options open....through a state that chains are required to carry...are we required to purchase chains...or does Schnieder use a chain bank,provide chains, or have an option available to buy at discounted price?

    Thanks for any info.

    Sni has authorized chain bank vendors you can use and pay Sni fleet price for them.

    We can get discounts as drvrtech77 said.. But don't forget anything for the trailer SNI covers. We pay for the chains on the tractor but SNI provides free chains/cables for the trailer. Can pick up a pair at most OC's I believe .. If not you can get them at Western OC's..

    I've been looking into the IC programmer Schneider. does anyone here have information on the French Camp yard in California? Would that be a good area To work the choice program? I would be doing percentage not mileage pay.

    Chains are those shiny things hanging from the necks of eastern european drivers wearing track suits and tennis shoes. Smelling like they bathe in a pool of cologne.

    I thought it was in your contracts that all ic are supposed to carry chains. If they do require you to carry chains then they should provide them..

    I haven't seen anything about being required to carry them unless you travel through states that require them.

    I saw something on crossroads that said that an IC will be provided with a set of chains that he will be required to turn back in when his/her lease is up.

    No..we are not required to carry chains on truck just to carry them..we only have to get them when we go out west...that's it...there's nothing in this contract that says we must carry at all times.
