    "I don't do chains!"

    "Chains are to get you out of trouble, not deeper into it."

    "If it's that bad, I'm parking it!"


    What chains?

    I've heard that phrase 10,000,000 times. Once again, you're safer with the chains on, which nullifies their stupid argument for being lazy.

    What's absolutely hilarious is how many will say they've never chained, yet insist on how unsafe it is.

    How duf** would you even know, if ya ain't ever done it???:biggrin_2559:

    If you would have had your chains on on US 6....maybe you wouldn't have been "detained"!:biggrin_25525:

    I was getting a trailer PM done at the Petro in Phoenix, OR last week and waiting for the paperwork, I saw on a shelf "shoe chains" to strap on your shoes.....

    So does this also qualify for the "if it's too slick to require chains...I ain't gettin out of the truck!":biggrin_25524:
