A number of carriers don't have their drivers chain up. It leads to worker's comp claims and accidents. Of course, any company that runs frequently in northern states probably has no choice but to chain up, but for that reason I'm glad I live and work on the west coast. I grew up in the Midwest and always owned a 4 wheel drive. Now I own them for hunting and fishing, so I don't need them just to get around in the winter. If I want to play in the snow, it's a 3 hour drive to Lake Tahoe and the Sierras.

My starter company when I was OTR was FFE and they required you carried them but if you used them and had an accident you were immediately fired so I never used them there except once getting over Donner Pass. Up here in Alaska its just a daily routine half the year

If you’re not comfortable chaining then don’t do it. There’s no harm in that. But if you’re planning on running out west then you need the required chains and you should know how to install them.
And pay attention to the weather. If you’re in Spokane on the front edge of a big storm do you want to sit for 2 days or do you want to chain and get over Lookout and go on about your business?Accidental Trucker, nredfor88, D.Tibbitt and 2 others Thank this. -
