    Yes, Maverick supplies all chains.

    I went into Canada during a nasty winter storm last year. Didn't have to use the chains though, because it was all solid ice on the road. Took me FOREVER to get from Edmonton to the border... crawling all the way at 25 - 35 mph for 450 miles. Not my favorite couple of days lol.

    I am glad to hear they use chains. Those coils are garbage and don't hold well. Ice I can handle, up to a point. it's going down grade on packed snow and ice, with those "coil type chains I would have a problem with.

    Maverick is very open about their safety policies. They are always saying "If you don't feel safe doing it, don't do it" and they stick to that word. I've been told several times that I was free to shut down if I felt it was necessary. So you always have that option.

    Tootsie Roll, the big plant next to the mall on S Cicero. It's one of TCD's biggest customers. We do their shuttle runs from there to the plant in Hazelton, PA regularly.

    Makes sense now, the only Maverick truck I see regularly is a TCD truck going south on Cicero, past the mall...guess now I know why...

    Yup, we're there a lot. We have customers all over the Chicago area too, if you run TCD you'll see it on a very regular basis.
