    Mr. Six is correct! I was two years in with TMC and their policy is not to put chains on. So what do they do.... Dispatch me on a load going to Colorado. Which requires the truck to have chains . Driving on I70 what happens?...... Mandatory chain up sign flashing, must pull over and chain up with a state trooper giving me 30 minutes to get it done. In my entire life I never chained any type of wheel. After an hour of trying to get them on I was off. I think I had more bungees on then chain. The point is...They should take the time to instruct the newbes on proper chaining. The set of tires with chains on in the back corner of the shop in Indy does nothing.

    In regards to orientation, Don't act stupid, listen to the instructiors and you will be fine. They don't wake you in the morning, that's up to you.
