    You guys would probably #### yourselves if you saw the kind of driving one of my buddies does. 6 triples on the truck plus steer chain. Diff deep snow. Just another day to him.

    Delivered to a frac site above Parachute, Colo., minimum chains was 1 steer, 4 outboard drives (four triples is the standard) and 2 trailers. I only had enough for one trailer. Almost made it, till the last 200 yds then I spun out, the D9 driver at the top of the hill tossed me a rope so I could drag the chain down to my truck, then he winched me up.

    Heh you already said that. I was wondering if you also used them for high-hook trailers.
