    i brought this back up for the newbies....i want them to know they dont have to feel pressured to chain....there are a lot of 20+ year veterans..that DONT CHAIN....and that YOU DONT HAVE to...now granted if you sit a lot, of course it will affect your pay...but dont want them to feel they have to go with the "chain gang"...or that they arent a complete driver etc...if they dont

    I have chains and only use them to get out of my yard in the winter if needed.

    My chains are only used for immediate and emergency kinkification in the line of "duty".

    20 years on the road you have become institutionalized
    a Rv is only a big sleeper
    at least move up to becoming trailer trash :biggrin_25524:
    one step at a time i guess
