Hello Prime drivers, and future drivers

Probably won't leave Springfield till .Mon.

Hey, anyone know what length bungee is best for use with snow chains. I want to organize my bungees and make sure I have enough on hand.

No comments about how you never use them, cuz I do under the right circumstances. Someone who knows. In the past I've had to use some bungees that were too long, as that was all that was available at the time.

 

I have never heard of a set length. If it's to long just run it in a circle weaving it in a
& out of the outer ring. All so they have a set of snow chain rubber snubbers at the T/S (T/T at least) These are great but only for the outer chains. You should have a bungi for the inner side.

Try putting on Chains from a wheel chair. Been there done that (stupid four wheeler stopped to take a pic nright in the lane).

 

I used 2 x 21" bungies on each chain (cross pattern) the last time I tossed iron. Worked well. BTW, otherhalftw has a thread on chaining that's interesting.

I really liked reading this thread. TY IP

Now my question. Will I learn chaining during my training at Prime?

 

Not necessarily but I guess it depends on the trainer my trainer showed me b/c we knew winter was coming and I asked him too....I know of others who trainers didn't show them

 

I got chains.... They're at the bottom of my side box. No one ever showed me how to out um on though. I think well just park it

 

Parking is great.

However, some truckers say "never put on chains to drive into a situation, only to get out of a situation"

So what do you do when caught in a situation?

 

Well I guess I might just want to make it a point to ask if someone will teach me then.
