    I always carried two pieces of 4x4 wood. One for each side. About a foot long. Cut the ends at a 45 degree angle. Drive up your INNER dually on the 4x4. NOW your outside tire is off the ground AND SNOW. Hang Chain. Drive off. A WHOLE lot easier.

    2. Put the spider or bungies on so hooks face away from tire so its not digging into sidewall

      3. Hook the inside hook first because it's easier to fight the outside hook.
      4. How many chain links you have extra on one side, the other side should have the same amount of extra links once you hook them.

    This video is proof to me that physics works different for me than for other people. When I pick up a set of chains from the middle, the ends wrap themselves around and tangle into knots the Boy Scouts haven't even heard of. If they ever get un-tanged, then a bunch of segments will be twisted and bunched up, yet no amount of force or leverage on the planet will un-twist them. When moving the truck, the chains cascade off the tires and form a ball, which the tire then sits on, making the chains simultaneously drum-tight and permanently loose.
    I can honestly say that fighting tire chains in the snow in the dark on Snoqualmie Pass was probably the single most miserable hour of my life. In that time I managed to install just 2 chains (5 is the law in WA) and one of them flung off and was damaged beyond service within a quarter mile. I'd seen this video and others, I'd practiced in the dry with fresh new chains. When I had to do it for real, the most basic things turned into impossibilities.

    • @JETZcorp
      @JETZcorp 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @christysikes6246 I've found since that having the chains hung on the truck untwisted and in a recognizable pattern is half the battle. Last season they had me using different trucks each day with unknown chains. Now I have an assigned truck, and at the start of this season, I spent two whole hours auditing my chains, un-twisting them, discarding the ones that were straight-up broken, and practicing how to hold and hang them without causing tangles. If the last guy to hang them was an ape about it, getting them sorted roadside is like trying to decipher the Enigma Stone at gunpoint.
      Best of luck, and let us know how it went!

  • @jonthomassings5003
    @jonthomassings5003 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    I always temporarily hook the outside first so the chain can't slip down between the wheels or onto the axle. After you hook the inside you can re-hook and tighten up the outside. Also I like to hook the bungee hook in the slot of the cam that prevents it from opening up when the chains loosen while you drive. Best of luck drivers, Jon

    I drive where they make the tv show, "Highway through hell ". When I have to stop at Box canyon to put on the chains it takes me at least 30 minutes to put on four singles tire chains. Easy in summer time, but when you have six inches of snow on the ground and most of the time the chains are frozen solid. I need to take a hammer to get rid of the chunks of ice that accumulate in the , of course, rusted chains also. Not so easy.

    Yo Sam! I chained up for the first time in Northern Nevada. Your video really helped me know what to look for. I see other drivers install the "hooks" facing the tires perhaps they don't know the damage it can cause. Interesting note most of the newer version chains are pretty tight after you lock them versus the older ones need the bungees.

Then you need to put on your winter parka, hat, gloves, boots, and then find your flashlight (because you're always doing it in the dark...right) and find that pesky key to tighten up the chains.....and stretching cold bungees....now that's fun when your about exhausted from this ordeal....LOL don't you just love it!!

      ​@@RealsamthetruckerIt depends on the jurisdiction and your weight. Some places allow singles on the front drive axle. Some places require that you use triples and some places require both drive axles to be chained. Some places the ice and snow is so bad that you actually have to chain up the steering axle as well.

    Question: so this chain is only for snow? To protect tires and prevent accidents?

    I've been a Truck driver for 35 years. Old saying, that if you have to put chains on you don't need to be on that highway, a hot load cools off really fast sitting in a ditch😅

    How many chains are typically needed and what is a safe max speed when driving with them on? Also, we are given a signal to install chains are we also give one for removal? Thanks Sam!

    • @Realsamthetrucker
      @Realsamthetrucker  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Max you need is 6 chains to put on, but you have to legally carry 8 chains (4 sets)
      Basically the most you will actually put is 6.
      4 on all drive tires, and an 2 on trailer
      Max advised speed is not more than 30mph, but if you are fully loaded, I wouldn’t go over 25mph
      Best of luck! Keep on trucking 🤠

    Do I need to put chains on my truck F150 and my auto transport trailer from U-Haul so I won't skid off. However u only do 4 tires out of 18 wheels or u do all 18 wheels?

      @Realsamthetrucker  ปีที่แล้ว

      I have seen special tires chains for pick up trucks, that aren’t as rough as the ones for the semi. I don’t know about the rules, and regulations for that mate. I hope someone with experience here shares their knowledge

    Good video I only came here cause I have 2 questions: 1 how does it feel chaining up without gloves and pants? 2 I noticed the axel In which you chained up and I'm wondering if that matters cause I've always done the rear axle

    • @Realsamthetrucker
      @Realsamthetrucker  ปีที่แล้ว

      1. Usually chains are required when it really ice on hills, or snowing which means it will be 32F or below, and most of the time you end up getting your clothes a bit wet, so I would say Gloves are crucial
      2. You are right, you wanna put it in the rear drive axle, unless you have a drive shaft connecting to the front drive axle. I have only seen that in super single tires, where the front drive axle needs to be chained, instead of the rear.
      I hope that helps 🤠😎

    How long does it take to remove frozen chains? I already know, much longer, and a wooden stick to beat the ice off 😁

    I'm about to start training next month. If you are a company driver, does the company provide the chains?

    • @Realsamthetrucker
      @Realsamthetrucker  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, they have to provide you with 4 bags of chain. 2 chains in each bag. Usually you only put 4 chain on drive tires, unless it is really bad, you will have to put 2 on trailers too.
