CHAINING...are you ready?

made it out but still .. sometimes I wonder why so little can mean stuck

 

Third flat this year due to a piece of broken tire chain. Two fubar'd. Would you gents (and ladies) please stop shredding your chains and ruining my tires?

 

I've seen drivers running 55 mph with chains on wet pavement. I will cite an example. In Oregon east bound I 84 from Cabbage to Ontario. You could be required to chain and unchain 3 times through this section. Drivers seem to prefer leaving the chains on from Cabbage to Ontario,
leaving broken chains on the roadway.

 

around the first of the year I was headed eb on I 84. chanis required near troutdale. kept rolling to where i could see the bottom of cabbage, ice and bare pavement starting near the 97 (Pilot) . at 25/30 mph links broke then. didnt need them for the hill. or on thru to my destination.

off they went. haven't replaced them yet, they still do the job, especially in a dock

 

You can bet that these are company drivers, not ones who have to buy their own chains. I used to run into that "on again, off again, on again, off again,) coming over the top from Denver to at least Eagle, and possibly all the way to Grand Junction. smh

 

I forgot, chain law was in affect beginning on the I 5 around Aurora, chained up and took the ice rut 205 to the 84, stopped at the ta for fuel and kept on going, chains on thri the open weigh station

 

How's it going with JCT ?

 

trading my chains at a company shop for some that have been used and repaired. they do that

 

They are doing a great job of keeping me swimming in miles.
