Extra chains a concern?

Get on your CB at the truckstop and see what you can get for them

 

Don't make it hard on you, just give them back to the company.

 

If by chance you scale a load and you are over on the drives or steers you can take the chains out and do a reweigh to see if they are a factor. A set of doubles or single chain isn't that heavy. It never hurts to have extra chains if you can do it because if you chain up and drive a long distance or go over 30 mph, the chains can break apart.

You can always ditch your extra chains.

 

I never take the chains off of the truck. I carry maximum chains required by California but no more. By keeping the chains on the truck, my weight will only fluctuate by several pounds based on groceries.
My weight full of fuel and DEF runs almost consistently the same.
I never have to guess on how much I can load which is 49,270.

 

Chains are crazy expensive. If I had to pay for my own chains, my money would be heavily impacted. So, I would hold on to those chains. They break easily and sometimes chains will be required and you will be running on asphalt!

I wouldn't sell them because they are for you to use and that would be considered theft.

 

Extra chains are always good to have. I chain up a lot and places like Oregon and California you can be running on pavement a good portion as well as running for upwards of 100 miles. That will easily break them even going under 30 mph. What happens if you run over Donner chain up break a chain and then run back over Donner and have to chain up again with no extras. They actually check to make sure you are fully chained up. I keep 2 bags of 3 rail chains as well as a bag of singles extra, plus I have more than enough on my chain racks. Always be prepared.

 

My comment was in jest.

 

Say what? I just bought two three railers for just over $100 at the local Kenworth dealer. Even running Oregon / Snoqualmie every other week, a set lasts the season when new, and then a second season with an occasional repair. Usually replace three or four cross links before tossing a set.

Works out to about $100-$150 per year. Less than my Cheetos budget.....
