Under $2/mile loads with $6/gal diesel.

I see your point on this and understand it as well. I also see you work in ND most likely Oil stuff and PPE is a huge part of the industry and they push it so hard that it becomes nature afterwords. Maybe this guy is out of the south and not around ice and snow that much. I myself never have had to buy any cleats for the boots or shows for ice. But I am a firm believer in 3 point contact at all times. Just a thought process!

 

I carry them 6 months a year, already used them and its only October.
Takes me as long to put on my gloves, as it does my cleats.

Some people just don't get it.

 

bottom feeders looking for the next mark. When I was new everyone and anyone called when I posted up.

 

Thinking the new guy might be dumb enough to haul cheap freight lol I get it.

 

I just screwed a bunch of sheet metal screws into the bottom of an old pair of boots. Works great . I don't use them much anyways.

 

Keep it

 

Halliburton issued boot chains to all employees in snow states. I still carry them in the truck. Can literally walk on ice without worry. Takes 5 seconds to strap on.

 

yup exactly, because all those 30 day 60 day 90 day or 180 waiting periods where out the door when the broker called. They could set you up on the system if you’re dumb enough to accept the load.

basically pay to play scheme.
