You guys use chains. As far as I'm aware, we are not allow to use chains. I thank you for your efforts to clean off the roads in your area. It's a thankless job, but I would like to thank you for it.

RE: I hate winter weather!
Thanks, Bud. Not looking for a pat on the back...... just saying I'm really tired of winter too. It's been too busy.
Tonight (hopefully) will be the first night I'll be "home" in the past week. (I should have taken a nap.)
BTW - In my 18 years of doing this, we've used chains once. The guys tend to drive too fast with them on and when they come loose, they tear the air lines, marker lights and fenders off of the trucks. The one time we DID use them was when we were called in too late - after the ice has already accumulated on the road. We're usually ready before the storm starts and get the halite on the pavement as soon as the freezing rain starts.

Yeah, I know you have to be careful with those things. I frankly would rather just have 4wd or AWD instead.
