Only god knows how many rookie drivers lives you saved by making this video.

I got them. They never get used I pull a flatbed. Nothing will rot or go bad on the back of my deck. I pull over. Wait it out. 18 years I have chained up twice.

I been driving 20 yrs and have never ever chained up,it’s February 27,2024 the company I’m going to next week told me I have to chain up,than you 🙏 for making it understanding on how to chain up,I did learn 20 yrs ago

I been driving 17 years I have NEVER chained up except showing rookies how to do it,it’s always good to practice,thanks for the video,best video I have seen so far because everyone wants to talk 🤦‍♂️you showed it exactly how to do it

That's bad ass!...Put on the chains and keep on trucking!...That's Professional!..Keeping you and the public safe...Thank you

Good Job! I've been driving 28 years. I Drive from Baker City, Oregon to the Portland area and back every (work) day. Sometimes chaining up 3 times a day. This video is right on. The only exception is if you're on a hill (going up) you need to let it roll back and hook from the front side so you don't spin the tires and throw the chains off. I've never used those orange things though..

Also a tip I learned to get a little tighter from the beginning. At 4 minutes on the video when you hook the two half’s together you throw outside of chain on top of tire toward inside and hook the chain together then pull chain back out and hook outside link.

Hi mate yes looks like here in Norway we used a damm chains every single day 🙄🤪 and sometimes we need put a heavy chains with a 32lines!! 👏👌 we never get stuck 👌👍 on that american trucks they have a lot space it's easy and much faster 👏👍👍 anyway driving carefully cheers from Norway 🇳🇴 👍

Very good video. You showed what to do and how to do it, and in a snowy environment as well.

Great video... been driving out west forever, only bought chains yesterday....

Respect to this guys... I see at nights... To travel alone on the highway.....

32 years experienced driver. I cam lock from the bottom 1st. work my way up. I never use bungee cords. Everyone learn and be safe.

Bravo Valerie I got stock in Colorado for Christmas coz I didn't know how to put chains Thank you for this tutorial !! 🙂🙏👏👏👏💪💪💪 Best Regards Goran

Excellent lesson in chaining up,thank-you!!👍🏼🇨🇦

The video explanation is very good. I bought this renhotecic brand Tire chain not long ago. It is easy to install and has a good anti-skid effect. If you have troubles with your car, you can try it.

Here in Northeast it’s ilegal used chains on highway unfortunately they ban all trucks down for cleaning the highway’s, drive safe

Одно из немногих видео где цепи одеваются в реальных условиях) а не летом на ярде без трейлера )

You can skip the orange bungees if you get the chains tight enough. Put them on like that, drive a few feet, stop. Then open all the cam locks and grab a couple more links on the hooks. You'll probably only need 1 or 2 cam locks after. This procedure is especially important on doubles (or sometimes also called triples) that do the inside and outside tires.

5:55 That chain has a little tangle in it. That's why that 1 cam lock ends up facing the wrong way. Once the tires start rolling, centrifugal force should help keep the cam locks from opening up. Other than that little hiccup, great video! You demonstrate a good sense of real-time, real-world installation while on the roadside & out in the elements.👍🏼

All States have a different chain laws, some requires at the trailer too, 1 each side as example. Good job guys.

Not sure if it was mentioned but for new drivers chains are meant for ideal roadways and work best when your loaded. Slapping chains on empty big trucks and stepping off into hilly ice covered roads can give you a false sense of confidence, make you spin out and possibly break chains and wrap them around an axle or brake canister in an inopertune location making the situation worse.

Even brand new single chains still sealed in the bag can twist in on themselves... 2 examples of that happening here in this video. Lay them out flat & look for twists b4 u throw them on the tires. The rounded side of the cams should correspond with the curve of the tire tread b4 tightening them. If the cams don't lay flat against the sidewalls, it's twisted. If the curved edge of the cam points toward the tread AFTER tightening, it's twisted... AND centrifugal force could throw that cam back to the loose position when u get rolling & u may lose the chain on the road.

Very good video. I will save this and watch it from time to time....but I will park and wait if I can avoid chaining. You are a good instructor.

Hello buddy . Thanks for this great and informative video. I hope you are always away from road hazards.

Watching this and I can't help think, how easy these are compared to what I use here in Alaska.

The bungees are a life saver when you're new to these arts and not great at getting them tight. I had to chain up yesterday for the first time outside of practice. Did my best but it still took over an hour and wasn't ideal, but we have lots of rubber bungees in the trucks. When I got to the chain-off area, I could undo all the cams with my fingers, but the bungees kept the chains secure and centered. You always want them put on properly so bungees are unnecessary, but I'd rather have the safety than to rely on having greater skill than I actually do.

Very helpful 👍one thing Give em left signal while merging on road rather than four way flasher…they’ll more alert👍

Omg!! He did it perfect and I was watching to wait for a mistake. Bravo!! Roll the chains on like he did. 3-railers same way. Then do middle/inside/outside links. Roll ahead and grab another link on all. Finally a chain video with some knowledge!

Excellent video Brothers! I needed a refresher!

Greetings from mountainous Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬✊

Great video! Thank you for sharing

Parabéns guerreiros, é impressionante o que vocês fazem sob essas condições climáticas 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I always put on doubles, singles are a piece of cake😉

Трак охрененный!👍

Never chained up, and I never will. If they're required because of weather, then, I ain't goin'!

Driving in the southern US I’ve never chained up but I’ve never had to id like to do it just as a way to bail myself out off being stuck somewhere ! My only real snow that was scary was blizzard of 93 i had only been driving for three years got caught running to Chattanooga Tn out of Atlanta ! The dispatch told me come on up there’s hardly anything coming down ! When i got there there war 6 inches on the ground and 27 % they said take two mts back to Atlanta I said nope ill take one thank you ! I was in a 1990 volvo single axle daycab it was not fun the snow and slush turned to ice it was like running over a ice pack white knuckle ride all the way back home ! I made ot no chains but i wish i would have had some

Good that you put chains on before it's too late. Also good to put at least one set on the trailer, it helps a lot to keep everything straight when braking. On a hard down hill brake application it helps keep the trailer behind you rather having the trailer trying to pass you! Triple chain sets are much better to keep you going on a hard pull. Once those singles loose traction the inside wheel is sitting and spinning on ice and the chain on the outside tire is in the air not doing anything anymore. Usually if it's worth chaining up, it's worth putting on a set of triples. I used to slap on two sets of triple sided Trygg chains 4-5 times a day for most of the winter, sometimes a set on the steering axle if was raining on the compact ice. Those Tryggs are heavy but you can climb up a tree with them. Get those cam tighteners good and tight and throw those bungie cords away. In over forty years I have never once needed them. Also at the 5:50 mark in the video I can see that the cross link is twisted and the chain needs to be untangled. You can tell by looking at how it sits on the tire and by how the cam tightener is not positioned correctly. Make sure your hardware is installed correctly. This is how chains fly off, do damage to the truck/trailer, and cause accidents. I'm sure you've learned lots since the video was put up. Stay safe brother.

Exactly there now! On border of Idaho with a load for Costco in Bozeman, MT for 4:09 am. Snow is falling steadily but because this si my 1st laid with this company I am not sure if I have that tool to tighten chains up & pretty sure don't have spider bungees straps. This is gonna be fun!

I see the chain locks have changed since back in the 70's. We didn't have those cam tighteners where I drive back then. And we just used bungie cords to take the slack out. I found it easier to jack up the axle when putting chains on. One and done, they didn't come loose and have to stop to tighten them a quarter mile down the road. But, everyone has their own way. I just know what worked for me. By the way, I drove cement train with a two axle tractor, not a twin screw.

A easier way to get those chains on in those conditions is to disconnect from the trailer and pull away. Gives you lots of room and time making contact with the wet snow. Takes a few minutes but it’s worth it, believe me.😎

Good job truck driver. Be safe out brother.

Good information brother good bless you

You’re the man!!! 💪🏽

Won't those chain's break under the pressure of heavy payload. This place looks like a snow desert.

Good job guys thank you for help information GBU

very beautiful view

5:47 got a twist that's why it doesn't lay flat

Very good video. Its from the field and where it should be from. Good hands on, good stuff. In case you have no spider, 4 short bungee work perfect. After you cam lock, use bungee from sliced angles not hooked straight up and down or straight across. Four short ones work best. Here is how they work best that I found: as you face the tire to chain up... Hook at 9 and the other end of the same bungee goes to 1. Hook the second bungee at 12 (top center) the other end goes to 4. Hook the third bungee at 3 and the other end at 7. The fourth bungee hook at 6 and the the other end at 10. I tend to have more uses for bungee straps like brooms, loadjacks and just overall bundling things. I dont have multiple uses for spiders. One broken leg on the spider and it kinda defeats the idea. Easy to find a short bungee though. Here is what happens on the clock system with the short bungee (12 in.): if one hook pops out, the hook next to it pulls directly in the opposite direction. Clock system does not pull all the slack to one place like a spider...to the center. With bungee Each one is separate and independent while not totally dependent on the other. Believe it or or not there are way fewer snags, less long distance wave and flipping out verses going through the center for overall tension. that is also the reason for using short bungees. spiders, long bungee and pulling to the center creates long air space between hooked ends creating flop and loss of cords. Cleaner and safer and yet to lose a chain. With any of these the center pull is bad idea. When done, still use the bungee for other things.

Molodci. Vse podrobno bes lishnih slov. Nice video. Good job.thanks

Дадвай "NEXT", улыбнуло 😂😂😂

I am Indian good job friend

good job. thank you sir

And the fact is truck drivers don't get enough credit for what they will do to get the job done, never chained up because I was physically unable, true truckers are a team.

Good instructional video. But those single chains should be used as a drag chain for trailer only. Get a set of triples for front drive axle. Its as easier than installing two singles and much better traction.

Nice Clip. But why those tires? Why not Bridgestone W990 or Michelin XWD Ice Grip or Goodyear Ultra Grip Kmax D?

Excelente trabajo 👍👍

Very simple way, thanks

Good job guys and thanks for information love you from Pakistan 💕💕🇵🇰❤️

Great video.

Great idea salute boss thumb up

В некоторых местах цепи ''перекручены''... Перед тем как бросать цепь на колесо надо разложить на земле и убедиться что не ''перекручена.''

I swear I saw you two in Oregon (cabbage hill) today. One of you were wearing shorts. I was thinking (I thought I was nuts just wearing a sweatshirt lol

This is cool, thanks!

God work man.👍😎see ya

I'm preparing to head to Washington State tomorrow but I have never chained.

I just did practice chaining up on the dock here in Fairbanks, Alaska recently. (Nov. 2022)

So wonderful

Uau ai ceva treaba cu lanțurile.

Perfect man

Nice job sir

Good jobs 💪💪

Классное видео👍👍👍 Привет из России✌️

Nice job bro...👍👍😎😎

i see chains are on all drives, seems that back axle was locked

Good job driver

Красавчик✌🏽 от души

The chain is set both axel tryres and reefer tyres pl give aw information

And A Set Of All Season Weather ©Bridgestone Truck Tires Would Be Perfect Just For This Kind Of Snowy Weather Conditions

I drove in Colorado and PA I 80 no need chains to use

That weather is so unforgiving

Good idea next time I will say to my co-driver let's make it video i put him to chains up

Thanks for the video. Would you chain on black ice only? Or would you just chain on snow? How do you know when you should chain? If you didn't have the orange bungees what size bungees would you use? I'm a truck driver too. Also how fast do you drive with chains on? I have heard that chain speed is 25 miles per hour. Thank you

the secret of happiness (أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمد رسول الله)

did he chain up one of the trailer tires too?

Good video. When you use chains will the tyres get damaged

30 - 45 мин и все цепи одеть после того как одел надо проехать чуток и перенатянуть

Thank you brother

Great video, great job, and great music…what’s the name of the music?

Hi, why you don`t use spike chain??

Спасибо за видео мне кажется вы русскоговорящие, это Вайоминг ? 2 года работаю не разу не одевал цепи )) где купить ключ и резины натижители? В мешке в комплекте нет🤔

Untung aja di Indonesia gak ada musim salju jadi gak ribet ribet amat..🤲🤲

hati² bang jalan licin semoga saja selamat sampai di tujuan

I appreciate 👍🏻👍🏻

Great and hard job

Стой стой ведешку забыл на спойлере!)))

So if I understood correctly, the chains are only put on the rear wheels of the truck, we don't put them on the front wheels or those of the trailer!

From Algiera good job take care of yourself friend
