CHAINING...are you ready?

I picked up my truck last week to the present of chains in the side box.

They get laid out this weekend. When I get it home for the first time.

 

Probably rusty if put in there wet.

 

Very rusty

 

I refuse to chain.... o.o;;

 

And that's 1 of the reasons I don't spend much time at my place in Az

 

with them?

 

After you put them on and run them.. they are clean again.. yay!

 

i know the PERFECT way to keep them clean....in the bags they come in, under the bunk...never get dirty that way..LOL...brand new never opened...never will be....

 

I've gone one step farther after last winter, leave em at the store were some other poor bugger can buy them. Nothing wrong with chaining when needed, but doing short hauls putting them on and off for every load it gets old fast.

Where I am now they don't allow it on most lease roads and the oil companies just call a farmer to pull you out with a tractor when you are stuck, or to pull you in where needed. No chains even carried on the truck.

Truckers get to be lazy, roads don't get torn up as bad, and farmers make a lucrative side income. Trucks don't get paid as much in this area, so drivers aren't willing to work as hard. As a company driver I make similar money.

 

There were nights going from CA to OR that we chained twice.. doubles.. yay!
