[QUOTE="Thebrownstreak, post: 1087630, member: 35815"] Our center delivers to the snow belt of northern PA. We literally have pallets of chains in the shop. I have a 45 min drive from my center to where I drop my tp-60 off. Once I drop the tp the other driver and I put the chains on my truck. I run about 100 miles on area, all but 5 of my roads are dirt roads. It just takes some planning one what stops I know I'll have no chance of delivering. There are a couple of roads that I have that are no bigger than a logging road that have a 100+ foot cliff on the one side. Needless to say I've gone weeks without going down that road. Our center use to charge us with an accident if we got towed. Same thing as another poster. Our center manager was doing a S/V ride and was driving the truck when he got a lil too wide on a turn and his tire went into a snow bank which then pulled him into a ditch. They tried for 6 hours to get it out before they called for a tow. center manager was given the riot act from the next level up for waiting so long. Our policy now is try for 20 min using whatever needs necessary to get unstuck. After that it's tow time. I bought a tow strap last year. The hillbillies love to use their pickup truck to get you out. [/QUOTE]
