    I saw a truck with those autosocks on going up Snoqualmie Pass a couple weeks back when that big storm rolled thru.

    came up with an idea to get all that sludge and slush off the bottom of your trailer when you are throwing iron so it doesnt get all over your jacket or coveralls

    i bought a squeegee and i give the area above the tires a few sweeps on the bottom of the trailer. makes a world of difference, and keeps things a little bit cleaner for your winter wear. :)

    have you been able to come up with an idea to get all the slush and crud off the road when chaining up so you don't get wet?
