First time I learned to chain was in Laredo TX in 100 degree heat . It’s been awhile . Thanks for the refresher .

The chain is twisted... notice how the cam lock at the 9 o'clock position is facing the wrong way when the cams are all still in the open position? The reason is that the end of the chain is pulled through itself between the cross links at the 10 o'clock position. Not only will this put stress on the chains, but centrifugal force could throw that cam back to the open position when the truck gets rolling, causing the chain to get loose & fail. Single chains have a bad habit of twisting in on themselves, whether inside storage bags bouncing around in your side box, or swinging on your chain hangers. When inspecting your chains on the ground, pull those side rails taught, and any twists will become obvious. The side chains will 'mirror' each other, directly across at the same opening. 'Read' the twists & pull the end back through that opening in the chain before installing. Happy Winter Driving, people!😊

CRST does not show us how to put on chains. If we have to chain... we might aswell shut it down. But thank you schneider for showing me how to chain up when i was driving in washington at a chainup area on i-84.

Some advice from a driver from Colorado. Carry a 2x4 with a little ramp cut into one end. Drive over it with inside wheel and it elevates the outside. 10x faster and you may not have to crawl on the ground

If I were to park whenever we need chains, I'd be parked 9 months/year. I work in the oilfield in Northern Alberta. We chain-up year round due to ice and mud.

After 30 years chaining on the west coast i am here to tell you there is a better way.

......... And that would be? .... I have been driving OTR for 3 years now and still have yet to need to apply any chains. I couldn't begin to instruct on how to do them.

A WAY BETTER Way! Why lay down to connect the back!?! Setting these new drivers up for failure and to make them work harder. Ha!!

There are many better ways.

Laying down? Hilarious! BTW, you had at least one twist in that chain. Fail.

Well this video explains why we see chains on the road and not on tires. This is not a good video for training

You better carry bungies. If you don't cross link with bungies your more likely to leve your chain on the highway while your driving.

@filipeorr7821 8 ай бұрын

Only if you have them lose. Get them as tight as possible. If you chain up correctly you don't need bungees. I only use bungees to secure the tails assuming the tails are too long and I don't have my grinder with me. Driving 19 years, 11 in the oilfield - and I haven't lost a chain yet.

On icy conditions what tires should we put them on? I only have a pair and I rarely chain unless it's super icy. Would it be better on the front drive tires or the back drive tires?

@filipeorr7821 8 ай бұрын

Depends... Thevrear diff is the cheapest, and tire chains increase the shock. I would rather break the cheapest diff if it happens. The frontvdiff gives you more traction. If road conditions are very bad I would do the front. Remember, if you chain the front drive, it becomes harder to turn, so I would also chain one steer if I havecto chain the forward drive.

If the road conditions are such that tire chains are required then they are too poor and unsafe to be driving on.

Well CHP made us chain up at 40 degrees because there was some light snow and the sun was out

I used to think the same way you do but in California they practice chain control. Chain control is when they force you to pull over and chain up so it’s not always a choice.

@louisbecker5941 3 жыл бұрын

I was OTR for 17 years, so I'm more than familiar with that philosophy. But... after 10 years in the oilfield- If u don't chain up, you don't make $$$, & you don't go home.

Wrong - you want the chains as tight as possible.

Singles are useless. Get the triples and get them as tight as possible. Never mind the cams inicially. Once installed, move as far as possible, minimum one truck length, but better 2-300 meters. Retighten as many links as possible, then tighten the cams, starting by the ones closer to the ground. The tighter the better. F,

Chaining the truck without moving it can really come in handy.

No need to hook them before rolling ahead unless youre in an extremely low traction scenario where you're going to spin. Also get those fuckers as tight as possible. No matter how tight you think they are theyll loosen in the first few revolutions. Theres no such thing as "chains too tight". Also if you're going to throw chains on duals may as well put on triples while you're there anyway.
