    I don't believe that is true..when I was there they never said anything about chains.

    I ran the east coast up into the northeast..so chains weren't an issue.

    Ask Amy she will get you up to speed..you don't need them yet so just wait.
    More than likely you wont be there long enough..IRT is a bottom Feeder my friend.

    They don't want anyone using chains, it's too big of a risk for them. If a driver doesn't know how to put them on, or is too lazy, the chain might fly off and damage or even puncture the tank. Drivers are actually banned from using I80 in CA in the winter because chains are required.

    You could buy them and use them anyway, but if anything happens I'm sure they will make you fully responsible since they didn't want you using them in the first place.

    if none of the shops have chains they will give you a com check to buy em if you feel you need to, irt does not want you to chain they pay you to go out of route or you can sit and wait it out.
