You don't have to take my word for softeners not being required. All I'll say is, go drive into a NY state DOT check along the southern tier on 17/86 or anywhere in that communist state without them with 2 chains crossing and touching and then come tell me how you made out. Some of these "laws" written or implied, are not always in the manual. For instance...you are familiar with the FMCSA annual inspection decal that is "required" by law federally, and must have the hard copy in the truck as well? In my home state of Vermont, we have a state annual inspection we have to get done by a certified truck garage. In Vermont, the state inspection supersedes the FED's inspection. I'll bet that's a new one for most here...but I have 4 DMV inspectors that live within a 4 mile radius of me here and know them all personally. If I need any help with an interpretation of a Vt regulation I just sit and talk with them personally. There's more garbage that is below the radar out there for reg's than you could ever fathom.
Ain't no hugs required here either hoss....
65k, 4 chains, good to go

I'll keep doing it the way I do it as it is permitted. The laws change constantly, and I don't have the time to keep up with them all, so I go along and when "advised" by a guy with a jumpsuit and a creeper or whatever that "the next time he sees me I better have this or that"...I grit my teeth and make it look like I care and comply. They're all revenuers anyway, nothing safety oriented anymore. But I also am a problem solver, not a creator so I play the game accordingly.booley Thanks this. -
Excellent. Make sure you stop by and see the VT. DMV guys also. They love it when they see shiny spots in chains. -
I was supposed to run team since it was a two day run, but my partner had tickets to Maury Povich. So, I got my R model Mack with a 237 and a 5 speed, put some rubbing alcohol in the tanks and away I went. Got there a few mins early. -
Your Vermont inspection sticker doesn’t supersede the federal one it exceeds it. Meaning it meets all the requirements of the federal one and it means nothing to those of us outside of Vermont.
You seem to get offended easily. I went back an reread our posts and I can’t find any where we have been rude, if I missed it I’m sorry.cke, Oxbow, Humblepie and 1 other person Thank this. -
