    That doesn't really answer my question.

    Are they still requiring drivers to chain up 6 out of 8 drive tires on tandem drive axle tractors when the maximum chain law is in affect?

    LOL,i'm not worried about it im local and home everyday.OTR drivers cn have it.But on the upside with this company,you are guarenteed 2500 miles a week but the catch is you must be available for loads to get it.So if u only drive say 1000 miles in a week you'll get paid for 2500 miles.That's just for OTR.I'll stick to local.This company is too demanding.

    I agree.Drivers are spose to make that call.But not with this company.They can just pull up the weather and see what it's doing.So its best not to even waste time calling,you'll probably get a big fat NO YOU CANNOT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Everybody at this company are real nice polite and respectful but I bet all that changes for the OTR dirvers.Better them then me,lol.I would'nt drive OTR anywya,they don't allow pets.Alot of drivers here abandon the equipment which along with a failed drug test is the worst 2 things possible to do with a trucking company.
