thats NOT YOUR JOB TO PUT CHAINS on your pkg car .
once again, rocket man speaks of his lack of knowledge
pray tell, who's job is it?
how many times do you guys get stuck a year? ive driven all sorts of vehicles (not a pc) in the snow and have never got stuck
drewd, nothing like being the expert when you have never ever driven a package car. big difference between your personal vehicle and a package car.
as for warning letters, your distinguished management team can issue warning letters because you are ugly, stupid, too fat, or because you go to the bathroom during the sort, what ever the heck they get their jollies off on, putting on paper.
but that does not mean they have any bearing or standing. file a letter of protest on each and every one.
one last thing, sober has one type of chain. one piece, covers the whole tire. we used to have them here for the bread trucks, p400 etc. those go on at the first sign of problems, and come off at the end of the day. takes 20+ minutes to put on.
most centers have the strap on twin chain. each "chain" has a strap that goes through the wheel and buckles down. i always kept 4 for each tire. if you only used one, you would grab, then slide while the chain went all the way around again to grab. twisted a drive shaft in two that way.
while i find giving advice on something like this is sometimes helpful, it is very dependent on where you are in the us, what vehicle you are driving, and the terrain you are making deliveries to. every situation is very different.
bottom line, if you have real reason to believe you will get stuck, put it off to tomorrow. no reason to force this stop, get stuck, and miss 20 deliveries later on because of the time you spent on this one.
