Hey, chain monkeys gotta eat too

For the first time in more than a decade, the price of having tire chains installed by a licensed chain installer along Interstate 80 has gone up.

This winter, chain installers will now charge $40, according to Caltrans. Caltrans works with installers to keep prices uniform no matter which highway motorists use in District 3, which includes I-80.

  2. WITAF? Being Canadian, I have never even DREAMED of paying someone else to install my tire chains when I needed to. Any trucker up here who can't install chains on his own usually doesn't get any work.
    You learn how to size them, put them on, inspect them, repair and hang them correctly.
    Wow. Just wow.

  3. Southerners: I was today years old when I learned a thing called "licensed chain installer" exists. Is there a "licensed chain sharpener" too?
