Volvo chains

I took a trip to the Phoenix Arizona Volvo dealership a couple days ago and was shocked to find none of their trucks had a rack to hang snow chains. Every truck I have ever driven, mostly freightliners and T680s have had a rack behind the passenger side fuel tank mounted on the frame rail for hanging chains. When I asked the sales guy about it he acted like he had never fielded that that question before. For all of you who drive Volvos what is your solution? I really did like the new 860 but I have to have chains. He suggested putting a box on the catwalk to hold them which I would rather not trip over every time I need to hang placards.

 

Iowa is a large area. I am assuming you are referring to the Iowa 80 truck stop. I know it can’t be done there’s a Volvo parked next to me and I just spent two hours talking to him. He has a box on the catwalk where he stores his chains. There is also a space behind the fairings between the DEF tank and the fuel tank where you could put chains but it would be a ##### to get access to that. It just blew my mind they don’t have a chain rack from the factory. Every truck I’ve ever driven has had a chain rack.

 

That’s an option. Are they legal everywhere? I heard they weren’t in some states.
