    Here’s the deal with running chains. Anyone that says “ if it’s too dangerous to need chains I park it” is either lazy or scared. Chains make your life easier. They can suck to put on, but once they are on, life is nice. Just take it slow and easy. Don’t get in a big rush.

    You also need to realize not everyone is in your situation or answers to anyone but themselves. Some people don't have to run if they don't want.

    For you to say everyone that doesn't run like you are lazy or scared.....

    Well I'll say this....the world would be a better place if people wouldn't judge others when they haven't walked in there shoes.

    I shouldnt but here is my opinion. I agree with you.

    When I was a paid hand. I went to work as told. As a heavy wrecker operator. The worse it gets, the more you run. When plows come off the road and your still flying around.

    I currently own, operate my equipment. My attitude has changed. You get caught in a storm, nothing to do but drive thru it. If your parked in a safe place, don't leave. Not one load can cover insurance deductible and days off from a accident, or loss of life. Sure I have the bad weather experience, only use it when I must.

    Karen aint much. But her gold digging behind can just sit!

    I think there should be a challenge where you win 10k if you can survive 10 nights of sleeping in the sleeper berth of an old school cabover
