Not in the winter time, no. You're right about that. It's not like going out west in the winter is something I would do willingly unless I'll be going across 40 or 10. If a load takes me through the mountains then that's where I'm going. Wouldn't exactly be something I would request unless it's spring or summer.

 

I used to go west all the time and never chained...

 

But if I did get into a situation where my choice is to either chain up or decide in advance on a place to stop, all I can say is wake me up when the roads get better.

 

I don't agree with that... Sitting on the side of the road in the "chain up area" is dangerous in itself. Most area's don't have anything separating you and the oncoming traffic that is approaching... You can still make money... How many times per year do you actually chain? In the couple of times a year that you might have to chain by not doing so I really don't see anyone loosing to much money. If someone that runs in an area where they are having to chain on a daily basis that's a little different. Why chain to put your self into something versus just waiting it out... I could see chaining to get out of a bad situation but for me that would be it...

The guy who taught be how to drive had been driving 20 something years and said he has never chained... His motto was Chain time is Nap time... Something I've always stood by

 

I guess we all have our own opinions...I'm local now so no chain laws in Illinois

 

Lot of drivers do not like chains sort of afraid of them

 

Frickin please! Yes, we all know you would drive thru lava to get it there on time. Carry on, and keep telling us how non-deserving we are.
