    I know. 6 in Colorado going over Loveland is a PITA. Hell, parts of 80 in Wyoming are worse. But guys refuse to throw chains or even learn. This is where I make extra $$$$.

    "Hey driver, you know how to chain?"

    "Yup"

    "I really can't, uh, my back hurts"

    "Got cash?"

    "Yea, why?"

    "I'm not doing it for free."

    "Can't you just help a driver out?"

    "Not if you're not going to do it yourself."

    "How much?"

    "$40. I'm feeling generous"
    $40 for 20 minutes of work. Sometimes there might be 2 of them. They just bought my dinners that week!
