Its that time of year again!!!

20 min. ####, I would look at the chains hanging, go back in the truck, come back out, look again, call dispatch, tell them, Im not doing it. Ill wait.

 

I assume a chain board could be a 18 inch 4x6 (4 of 'em) that would be placed in front of the inside duals then drive up on 'em thereby lifting the outside duals up off the ground for easy chain install.

 

Ok so what's wrong with hanging your iron and then driving over it? That's the quickest way to chain up but to each their own I suppose.

 

must be nice to be independently wealthy. But, hey if you can afford to sit for 72 hrs or more (last winter there were 15 trucks that sat for 60 hrs on the side of I-70 before CSP issued each one a $500 ticket, turned them around and sent them back to Denver to find a different route. Three of them had chains and refused to put them on) more power to ya.

Mine are two 2x12's screwed together, the bottom one about 20" the top one about 16", one for each side. Roll up, put the first chain on, tighten it, roll off and put the next one on, same thing, grab'em and go.

I barely get wet (gloves, shoes) and mine are tighter and less likely to be thrown. BUt yes, too each their own.

 

That's my new philosophy...I'm not spending 30-45mins chaining up to drive 5-6 miles to spend 30-45mins unchaining then repeat that 10 miles up the road...NOTHING needs to be there that bad and it's such a PITA I aint doing it...And twice last year, as soon as I got done putting them on, the restriction was lifted, easier, and safer, to wait...

I was also taught they're for getting out of trouble, not into it...

 

My chain boards would only be used to beat the crap out of any dispatch that told me I had to drive through any storm heavy enough to require chains.


Just Sayin.....

 

I don't get wet either but I don't throw iron to run up and down the pavement. I throw iron to get around in the patch. Sometimes we throw iron 9 or 10 times a day. Your boards wouldn't do a hell of a lot of good in the mud and singles are absolutely useless. But hey if it works for you that's awesome.

 

This guy actually knows what he's talking about. A real off roader.

 

You ever forget that trailer in your sig is steerable? I had a hand forget in the middle of a little town he took a corner super extra wide and ran over two cars and almost took out a house that was a mess.
