What if it Snows?

I look forward to my first chaining. Won't look forward to it after that, I am sure. lol

But, that said. I think I am gonna be ok from all I've learned from you guys. Also gonna be proactive and pick up a pair of semi-short 2x10s to roll up on. That way I can chain up without having to move the truck forward or backwards. Much cheaper to replace those every once and a while over that device they sell. Plus if I put some good paint on them. They should stay safe from the weather. Wonder if they are secured correctly to the catwalk if that'd be legal. If not, I'll be sure they fit in the truck some where.

 

4x4's work better

 

May your fuel never gel, and may your load never shift.

 

Could probably strap a pair side by side to get a decent "width" and cut a 45 degree angle on them for easy on/off. A drill and some lag bolts should do fine. Plus if I get the eye bolt ones. Gives me a secure point to secure them.

 

If ya only got 2 try to put them in landing gear brackets and get a small 1 inch ratchet strap and cut strap to size and strap it onthere. Not sure if van trailers have the brackets like flatbeds do but thats what all us flatbed drivers put our 4X4 at

 

You only need them to be about 2 to 2 1/2
feet long. Just enough to get the inside tire on.

 

Hope u guys having a better day then me lol , its been a rough one this morning.

 

Get pulled into scale. Front axle on scale, get red light. Stop. This old grump of a scale master walks out to trailer. Gives the dunnage a good solid stomp kick.
They don’t move. He stands there for a moment holding the side of the trailer, slowly turns and with a bit of hobble and limp goes back inside, green light.
Guess he didn’t see the two 2 inch straps holding them in place. Had to bite a hole in my tongue for a few minutes.
