I wonder if this will get me out of chaining?

I think that means don't spill your beer on them.

 

I think they really meant when you were transporting them, hanging, or banging around in a box, or whatever.

 

LOL, I wish!

 

LEO: "Go purchase chains that comply with the law. Here's your ticket. Have a nice day."

 

You will be written a ticket for being safe unfortunately.

You know the consequences that could happen if those chains come in contact with moisture and chemicals but alas the law does not care and only wants their piece of the pie.

I'm sorry dear friend but you will be handed a citation for trying to save lives.

 

What is bad is when you have to chain up to just get into a truckstop.

 

Got to be the dumbest reasoning I've heard this year.

You are kidding, right?

Dude, they are going to look at you and tell you either chain up or be put out of service.

I too have Pewag chains on my trucks, they hang on chain racks until summer, then oiled and stored. I also used them when I was working as a temp driver, carried all kinds of stuff with me in case a customer didn't have the right equipment and I had a few Pewag chains in the box.

AND I had one customer who used those chains in an aluminum foundry where it was exposed to acid and flux and other chemicals, they used them to flip boxes that were the size of vans with those chains.

so that's not going to fly with any enforcement officer.

 

I really think the OP was joking...

 

Or to drive on pavement with no snow or ice. That's the best.
