    I have 6 little white bags with brand new chains. Their going to stay that way. I'm a trucker, not an iron worker. I don't hang iron. I spray them about every 3 months to keep the rust down. My truck is nice and shiny most of the time. If it get's that bad come get it. Dispatchers have 6 little wheels on their office chairs . You hang iron, I will too. I will switch chairs with you. It's not safe to drive, I watch, You drive. Never had any takers.

    That guy reminds me of my 8th grade algebra (non) teacher! Looks like him, and even talks like him! Not too many of us came through that class with high scores. . .:biggrin_25513:

    I hate chaining up but I'm sure it's saved my life each time. When in doubt chain up.

    What's chaining? I've never done it, and I plan on never doing it. I hear chains required and I'm shutting down.
