Chain law by state

I sat a whole day in 2010 waiting for the grapevine to reopen because I couldn't chain up and go over.

Makes perfect sense, I was snowed on in August Westbound on I-70 once, an hour later was in triple digit temps.

When you live out here and run local in a company rig waiting it out isn't an option and if you get pulled into a scale house without chains on the rack you'll very likely be put out of service.

 

It is not you.

It is because the average driver does not slow down when the weather is bad.

Have you ever hit fog on the cajon or grape vine and watched the idiots pass you buy driving like it was a clear day?


Chains required in the rack running local, Not in so Cal

 

Socal is a foreign country lol,I live in the PAC NW.

Fog?...we get very dense fog along the Columbia River and in the Willamette Valley, we know fog up here and yes the idiots that go with it.
I sat 1 1/2 hrs. just this Friday when highway 30 was closed due to a fatality wreck, a pickup truck tried to pass a semi on the snow and ice.....bad result!

What is required for Key West? Can i use cables?

 

Pontoons....

 

im not even sure how many sets I carry but my rack is full plus I have a couple bags of chains in the cargo area, only snow areas I visit now is grapevine and Tehachapi in Ca. Last night the Loves in Tehachapi was like a giant slip and slide.

 

If you are running duals, the most you would need would be 3 bags (six single chains), CA is the only one requiring drag chains on both sides, all others allow one single drag (trailer group)....having them in your possession doesn't mean you are required to use them! Don't forget to have a bundle of bungee cords to boot!

 

You forgot the sail rigging!
