When I worked for Prime they didn't have any class on chaining and I was to ignorant to learn on my own. When the time came I was unprepared on the side of 90 before Lookout. I got lucky when an experienced guy parked in front of me and taught me how to throw them as he did his. Don't be an idiot like I was! The time to learn is not on the roadside at night in the snow. Pull those chains out and learn to put them on before you get stuck and for #### sake never ignore the chain laws when they are posted.
Chain season is coming!

Was the drive that helped u a flatbed driver? . If it was that may have been me. I remeber helping a guy out on lookout pass last winter , said he never threw chains before so i finished putting my socks on and helped him out with chains.

When it's time to chain, it's time to park and catch up on podcasts. I don't haul anything that can't wait a day or 3.
