hey atrenholm38, if you got a problem with this guy taking time out of his life to show people how to chain a truck, go FUCK YOURSELF, ASS BAG, he isn't getting paid for this. Besides, I thought he was very informative, and I've been in this game for well over 25 years.
any of you guys that believe this idiot shouldnt be truckin ,i am an off highway driver that puts on chains 3 times a day my friend and i are now makin a vide on how men p-ut on chains quickly and correctly please disregard what you see here it will make you look like an idiot as well stay tuned our video will be done in a couple days.a note it takes 5 mins to put on and 2 mins to remove and that is for hd triples !!!
@atrenholm38 I hope you video better then you type then. "I are now makin vide"? LMFAO!!!! I ARE!!!!! DAMN! Also, ever hear of periods? nice run on sentance
@seansuth You aren't making yourself look any better trying (and failing) to correct his grammar. While he does have a run on "sentence", his use of the word ARE is correct, since he was referring to his friend and himself, making it a plural. He did have a few typos, to be sure, but no more than you do. "Timing" has only one m, by the way.
Thats a set of singles throw on a set of triples put 60,000 liters of fuel behind that super b and now you become a real man.Not these wimpy wanna be truckers!!!
Got my license last fall, Was with a trainer over the winter, one night i was asleep in the bunk going through utah, suddenly my trainer stops the truck, pokes me awake and cheerfully explains 'Time to learn how to chain up' - Got out of the truck we were in the middle of the highway, we each chained up one side of the truck, thanks to this video I was able to flawlessly chain up my side, then go to his side and help him, much to his chagrin! Thanks Seansuth!
@calijoline Really? So people lear just by sight? Go back to supertrucking and sitting at the buffet talking about how you don't get paid shit, and that mega load you took
holy shit talk about amature. it takes 10 min to throw 2 sets of triples,forget driving up on blocks n useing a fifth wheel puller that only takes up time an makes you look like an idiot.
why the fuck dont any of these videos show doubles? singles are pointless if its shitty out throw some doubles on, plus its easier to just throw a set of doubles on without having to do all the other bullshit he did. Throw them on, back it up where one side of the chains is directly on top of the tire, connect the now exposed bottom of the chains to the top, and your good to go.
I've got a question. In this video do you have a Peterbilt 387? My dad's got one. It's got some "scraches". He's haled containers *corn, wheat etc.* Lumber, Concrete *flexcore* and concrete pipes. Over all that, he's riped 4 mud flaps, bent back some metal, screqed up the 5th wheel. and common things that ALWAYS go wrong. Whats gone wrong with your truck(s)?
That's the trouble with some truckers here in the usa ,alot of them do'nt even carry chain's duriing the wintry month's like what happened in atlanta jan 2011 jacknife city
When you worked for Challenger, have you ever taken a load down to Georgia? I live in Georgia, just east of Atlanta, and thought that Challenger looked like a pretty nice company. I wonder if I could even work for them since I live in America. I dunno. Anywho, just kinda curious, I guess.
@seansuth Well crap, never mind that idea then. I should stick with either Prime or Watkins & Shepard as my "starter" companies. Start my truck driving classes next week, actually.
@BolonoakSaman Right on, congrats. I really can't say much about any of those companies because I don't have any real experience with any drivers from there. But in any event, I'm sure what ever you chose, you'll get the experience you need to move on to a better company. good luck
Good info seansuth. They didn't tell us about using that fifth wheel puller in school. I think that is a good you included that in this vid because, like you said, it would be hard to pull forward on the chains if you spun out. Thanks.
i have watched a couple of your videos. some of your advice is pretty good for newcomers to the industry as some ppl dont know how to chain up. just lose the comments like 'go play with your tonkas' or supertrucker. would make you look a lot better.
Lock the axles, and pull forward. If you're still spinning out with them locked, you don't need to be driving, either with or without chains. Also, with those tension adjusters, there is a key you use to turn them. But for the demo, you were prolly just trying to get through it quickly. Anyhow, thanks for the video, driver. I'm sure it's helpful for a lot of people. Be safe!
I lived all over the interior of BC. Williams Lake, Prince George mostly and am now in a little town not too far from Kamloops. Great vids keep them coming.
Outstanding. I chain up quite a bit; I stopped using the ramps as we had an accident where a driver had a ramp slip out when he was chaining up. And I like the end comments about the cable chains.
At least seansuth chose his chains that are meant to be; at driver's side, he put the chains over the wheel as the lever/fastener is on the same side of the wheel where the rig's front end and cams are outside/visible on the tire wall - i.e. he toke into consideration the direction of rotation (at 11:21)
These things are not clear for Royalhighlander whose vid response is on the page. When I pointed out his turkeys he deleted my response, 'twas too much for this super-trucker's sensitive ego 8D
@OttovonEarth I also just rewatched his video. Either he's using broken chains, OR a smaller size then his steer tire is. There seems to be way to much of a gap between the left and the top of the tread
Thank you so much for posting this sir. You see, I have never driven in snow nor have I ever hauled doubles. I watched this video before I started driving 3 weeks ago just in case I would have to chain up... I did, and thanks to your video being saved on this laptop, I was able to rewatch and get the job done. It was in a storm in Moscow ID last week and it was not fun. SO thank you sir. This video done not just help me, but it really saved my ass. Thanks for posting it. :)
good video. I watched this video because I havent chained up in years because by luck I've been on vacation every year that we had snow.This year I believe we are going to get hammered so thanks for the refresher.
Thanks Seansuth for this video, I always enjoy and appreciate your work, great job.:)
I just can't believe the amount of "CountryBumkins" that have nothing else better to do than bragg about themselves on HOW CAN DO THIS and HOW I CAN DO THAT and criticize you for "trying" to help others out,
Don't let this get you down SS ok? You do great work with these tutorials and i have learned a lot from them. Thanks.:)
@trucksfive Flat lander huh? perhaps you can't tell the MOUNTAINIS terrain in the back ground... the cascade mountains, just before the Canadian rockies!
Your absolutly right, this video is a good start for chaining up... the point is for ENTRY LEVEL DRIVERS and people in school trying to get a mental picture so they have some place to start. Is it the best?.. maybe, maybe not. But it's whats taught in schools. Only experience can give you tricks that work for you individually
People just don't pay attention do they Seansuth. You even said you were only doing it that way to demonstrate. I hate it when people are so damn critical of stuff they don't really know about.
Eskimo Sean. I have seen a few of your vids, they're pretty good. However, not so sure about this one. After you got the chains on the tires and you start turning the tightening locks. This wont work in the real world. There is an L shaped tool that is flat on one end that you need to slide into the slot on the tightners and turn them. If you can turn them by hand they will not be tight enough. if the chains are tight enough you will need this tool or you will never turn the tightners.
HA HA HA Just reading the comments...... It's good to see that Australia isnt the only place where truck drivers piss in each other's pockets!!! LMAO!!!
@PoopsV10 First time being a Supertrucker? No... I've seen you sitting in every truck stop, whining about pay and miles.... and how back in the day you drove 35 hrs straight, in snow, without chains, blowing everyones backdoors off cuz they (were smart enough to stop)...
No, not the first. however, i don't use chains. I do however take time to pass a bit of knowlage off to entry level drivers, be it the quickest way, right way, or the way I do/was taught.
@seansuth ahem... first of, no im not a supertrucker, nor do i claim to be one. not even my full job title, its just a part of my job. 2nd of all, if your going to teach people, at least be sure to teach them the correct way. Driving up on a block is not a good practice to preach. Bungie cords are not there to "tighten" the chains, they are there to hold the excess chain from the tail. The bit of trucking i do is in the bush, and i know for a fact that neither chains or tires would last you long
@seansuth well what ever helps you sleep at night. you stay on your hiways and ill stay outta your way. wouldnt want to be beside you when a chain or tire blows off.. keep on trucking good buddy.
@seansuth well what ever helps you sleep at night. Whats next? a tutorial on how to "spin" your chains on. haha people like you make me laugh. Anyways, Keep on truckin, hope i dont end up beside you one day when your bungee cords let go and a chain blows on the hiway. Later good buddy ha
continued from above. Drape 4 or 6 chains over outer drivers and rear trlr tires. IBackin cab, pull forward the length of battery box. Fasten inner links then outer as tight as you can. Use rubber spiders on each. Drive on.with windows both open enough to hear clanging chains. If you do, pullout of traffic flow and fix problem. Carrying spare crosslinks and chain tools is good. Brocken chains don't fix themselves. Don't tailgate and don't speed. Stopping on ice is always a straight ahead deal.
Before leaving yard. Check the condition and number of chains on the truck. Do you have enough for your rig to be legal where you'll be traveling? Headlamp for use at night, rubber gloves over knit mittens and rubber boots and raingear sure help. Chaining with flip flops looks really uncomfortable.
Before the camper or actual chain control, pull as far as you can out of the flow of traffic. Seems simple enough! Put your gear on. If its dark you'll be glad you bought that headlamp.....
@PoopsV10 , you're wrong. Bungie cords help keep the chains snug inbetween tightening (chains will stretch over time). If you know anything about bush driving, you'll see every experienced driver has at least 3 or 4 bungies on every wheel.
Thanks a ton for taking the time to record, edit, and post this video it's a huge help. I've used the cables on my pickup and they're fine for that but I'm just getting into trucking and the first few months 4 months of my drives will likely be through snow from Nov-Feb maybe longer. So having this knowledge about chains is great.
You seem to have an "aw fuck 'em" attitude about chains, but do you prefer the singles or double/triple chains? And thanks for putting other truckers in their place.
@Sephroe It all depends on what I need to do, and the conditions of the road. for obvious, lazy reasons, I'd prefer singles. But sometimes one single on both sides isn't enough. Double/triple rails make less work, but are heavier/akward to lift in confined places (like when a trialer is attatched).
@haroldtheredneck First off, Think about it.. I want people to UNDERSTAND how to do it. I can be an ass cap like you, and SAY I can do it faster, and yes I can... but what will doing it faster show any one? So go paly with your Tonka toys in the sandbox again
@seansuth I know you're going slow to show how it's done. It's your method that's slow and painful. We run chains so much I was going through a set every 4 weeks last winter. I ran coast to coast for 12 years before this, this is where the big boys truck! You can come out for a ride anytime, I will take you places in a truck that will make you wet your pants!
@Royalhighlander You deleted my responses instead of thinking then.. did it because of my facetious gibe of the John Wayne Syndrome.. or do you prefer the term super trucker??
Once again; i.e. at 0:20 on your vid, doesn't even that ring your alarm bells? The cams are inside, the fastener's open end(s) leads which isn't correct due to the direction of rotation - these chains should turn and put at first as the fasteners hanging on the same side of the wheels as the rig's front end.. got it John?
@crazyjdkid From what I've heard, because of the EPA. Cat said it wasn't worth trying to figure out how to meet the EPA guidelines for new motors. 2010 is/was the last production year. Now I've heard one rumor about when the EPA finally gets it nailed down, and leaves it be, they may start the hwy motor division again
i even had to put chains on the frount!!I have a 07 frieghliner coulimba.i haul tanker and dump and flatbed and wow the road was so icy that you couldnt get no traction on frount.talkin about baddays!
Id like to see half the highway haulers come into the bush with us in the oil patch and chain up lol, couldnt handle the load and couldnt handle the chains lol
@mkoskela2006 exactly. such a simple thing to do would shorten this whole procedure. I usualy enjoy his video's but he should realy try the system your talking about and redo the video. nothing wrong with saying I found a better way. my thought is a tri drive needing 3 sets of tripples get them all on before the guy behind you scoops you.
Hey Sean, you ever notice that all these (pissants lol) always have excuses for their piss poor driving habits. It seems they always have to chain up AFTER they get into a little trouble. Keep in touch, brother......
try this one day. throw all your chains on top like he started then back the truck up about a foot and then you only have to lift the bottom part of the chain 1/4 the way up to hook your links. we throw 4- 6 tripples whenever we pull over. if you throw them on the ground they interfere with each other on the ground. 15 minutes max to chain. ask any logger in theprince george/smither area of BC. don't take my word for it. besides singles are a waste of time. only good for a stearing axle.
by the time you get your blocks out and put them under the tires,you can have your chains drapped...1st out of truck,hang chains,intruck pull forward,out of truck tight'n up intruck go. out get blocks,in drive on blocks,hang chains,tight,in truck off blocks,out put blocks away in go.....suuuuurrre buuuud
Nice video! I'm a trucker in Norway, and need to use chains about 10- 12 times a winter! We try to always have new tires when winter starts, so unless of a storm in the mountains, witch we had this wedensday, I get by without using them. But anyway. there's a tool for turning those "tightners" that makes it abit easier! Just fit something in that midle hole.. Keep on truckin'!!
Mmmm Freightliner Columbia! I was driving one for quite awhile, then started working for a contractor running M2's!! Yikes I miss the Columbia! (although both had crap Mercedes/Detroit) I would be ok with the M2, but I haul feed on crap Iowa backroads, not OTR. Not to mention its broke as shit (seat back wont lock...my back is KILLING me!!)
I haul coal in Northern BC, tridem tractor, B train trailers. We usually just put on one set of triples on the front drive axle. What I do to get em tight is put em on, (similarly to how you start, drape em over the tire, but then I drive on, or back on if already spun out) drive a couple k's, then re-do em to take the slack out. i usually get another link or two, then tighten those little cams. SOB's stay tight ALL day, and I don't have to listen to em... and I don't break any cross links.
hey eskimo sean thanks for the tips on chaining up i remembered on how to do it when i was sitting on the side of the road at 2am felt way too uncomfortable to continue pulling a mountain in colorado got me to the top safely
love your videos,, and you do alot of good, i was a driver for 12 years out of wisconsin, question tho, safety wise, why do you explain paperwork while driving, see it a couple times...
Hey man, I love your videos! I'm from Switzerland...but what you show is not a chain!!!! When I drive them on my bus with up to 70 people, I better stay in bed in the morning. Do you have a facebook profile, so you can have a look, what I do with a 40 seater!! There you need a real chain!!
you're the worst job there is. truckers keep the economy on it's feet. if you were smart, you'd realize your computer was transported by a truck. idiot.
okay, if no one drove trucks, you wouldn't have a computer. guessing you don't have those things called a life do you. HMM? NO. so shut your face, truckers make more money than your fat face. kthxbai
told you my computer came by air your a fucking idiot you know nothing about me i used to be a truck driver i quit because driving truck you have no life and if it wasnt for people like me the trucks wouldnt go either im a heavy duty mechanic i make 3 times more than i did driving truck you sound like a dumb fucking kid
You're still an idiot grease monkey. And I don't wanna wait in line behind your family to suck my mom's dick. And if you're heavy duty mechanic, you wouldn't have a job without trucks and drivers. Go pound sand you no-brained, pencil-necked, cum-guzzling waste of skin...
How many time do you need to contradict yourself on one video page? One second you say it was shipped by air, then you agree it was on a truck, then you say air.. make up your mind. Purolator air, get's it's freight BY TRUCK
No you don't. Or you would know what kind of driver he is by looking at his truck! There's no way you're a mechanic....you sound like a delivery boy of some sorts?
Funny. Now I know this ass wipe haulfomoney never has driven! Otherwise he'd realize rocks get caught in the chain... Hell, any five year old reading digzdirt comment would have figured that out!
Blocking this ass cap, so y'all don't have to deal with his shit
I think this is the first time I've meet a WANNABE SUPERTRUCKER! HAHAHAHAHA.... That's funny. This guy has no clue what he's talking about HAHAHAHAHA haulfomoney isn't even a driver HAHAHAHAHA. Probably never seen a chain other than in prison HAHAHAHAHA
the way i setup cables and chains is cable on steers and chains on drive tandom and forward tandom on the trailer.and some places ask for one extra chains on one side of the other tandoms.
dude they have a special "allen key" that goes in the middle of the tensioners and tightens the chain.....work for towing outfit .....we cheat we use our decks to lift the rear axle off the ground ....can chain doubles both sides in 10 min.......the fith wheel puller is a awesome idea.....cheers!

first time chaining up?
PoopsV10 1 year ago
@PoopsV10 First time being a Supertrucker? No... I've seen you sitting in every truck stop, whining about pay and miles.... and how back in the day you drove 35 hrs straight, in snow, without chains, blowing everyones backdoors off cuz they (were smart enough to stop)...
No, not the first. however, i don't use chains. I do however take time to pass a bit of knowlage off to entry level drivers, be it the quickest way, right way, or the way I do/was taught.
seansuth 1 year ago
@seansuth ahem... first of, no im not a supertrucker, nor do i claim to be one. not even my full job title, its just a part of my job. 2nd of all, if your going to teach people, at least be sure to teach them the correct way. Driving up on a block is not a good practice to preach. Bungie cords are not there to "tighten" the chains, they are there to hold the excess chain from the tail. The bit of trucking i do is in the bush, and i know for a fact that neither chains or tires would last you long

@PoopsV10 This is a correct way. I also speak in a "plane Jane" way, so people can understand me. Super"bush"trucker

@seansuth well what ever helps you sleep at night. Whats next? a tutorial on how to "spin" your chains on. haha people like you make me laugh. Anyways, Keep on truckin, hope i dont end up beside you one day when your bungee cords let go and a chain blows on the hiway. Later good buddy ha

@PoopsV10 LMAO! Forget much? Or are you a keyboard rambo who always wants conflict? Same post, one week, and one six days ago? retarded much?
seansuth 1 year ago
continued from above. Drape 4 or 6 chains over outer drivers and rear trlr tires. IBackin cab, pull forward the length of battery box. Fasten inner links then outer as tight as you can. Use rubber spiders on each. Drive on.with windows both open enough to hear clanging chains. If you do, pullout of traffic flow and fix problem. Carrying spare crosslinks and chain tools is good. Brocken chains don't fix themselves. Don't tailgate and don't speed. Stopping on ice is always a straight ahead deal.

@PoopsV10
Before leaving yard. Check the condition and number of chains on the truck. Do you have enough for your rig to be legal where you'll be traveling? Headlamp for use at night, rubber gloves over knit mittens and rubber boots and raingear sure help. Chaining with flip flops looks really uncomfortable.
Before the camper or actual chain control, pull as far as you can out of the flow of traffic. Seems simple enough! Put your gear on. If its dark you'll be glad you bought that headlamp.....
nd318865 1 year ago
@PoopsV10 , you're wrong. Bungie cords help keep the chains snug inbetween tightening (chains will stretch over time). If you know anything about bush driving, you'll see every experienced driver has at least 3 or 4 bungies on every wheel.

Thanks a ton for taking the time to record, edit, and post this video it's a huge help. I've used the cables on my pickup and they're fine for that but I'm just getting into trucking and the first few months 4 months of my drives will likely be through snow from Nov-Feb maybe longer. So having this knowledge about chains is great.
You seem to have an "aw fuck 'em" attitude about chains, but do you prefer the singles or double/triple chains? And thanks for putting other truckers in their place.
Sephroe 1 year ago
@Sephroe It all depends on what I need to do, and the conditions of the road. for obvious, lazy reasons, I'd prefer singles. But sometimes one single on both sides isn't enough. Double/triple rails make less work, but are heavier/akward to lift in confined places (like when a trialer is attatched).

He should have been chained up and in and out of the bush by now!

seansuth 1 year ago 13
@seansuth I know you're going slow to show how it's done. It's your method that's slow and painful. We run chains so much I was going through a set every 4 weeks last winter. I ran coast to coast for 12 years before this, this is where the big boys truck! You can come out for a ride anytime, I will take you places in a truck that will make you wet your pants!

@Royalhighlander You deleted my responses instead of thinking then.. did it because of my facetious gibe of the John Wayne Syndrome.. or do you prefer the term super trucker??
Once again; i.e. at 0:20 on your vid, doesn't even that ring your alarm bells? The cams are inside, the fastener's open end(s) leads which isn't correct due to the direction of rotation - these chains should turn and put at first as the fasteners hanging on the same side of the wheels as the rig's front end.. got it John?

@crazyjdkid From what I've heard, because of the EPA. Cat said it wasn't worth trying to figure out how to meet the EPA guidelines for new motors. 2010 is/was the last production year. Now I've heard one rumor about when the EPA finally gets it nailed down, and leaves it be, they may start the hwy motor division again

rudedude13 2 years ago
try this one day. throw all your chains on top like he started then back the truck up about a foot and then you only have to lift the bottom part of the chain 1/4 the way up to hook your links. we throw 4- 6 tripples whenever we pull over. if you throw them on the ground they interfere with each other on the ground. 15 minutes max to chain. ask any logger in theprince george/smither area of BC. don't take my word for it. besides singles are a waste of time. only good for a stearing axle.

But anyway. there's a tool for turning those "tightners" that makes it abit easier! Just fit something in that midle hole.. Keep on truckin'!!

Racerjames666 2 years ago
I haul coal in Northern BC, tridem tractor, B train trailers. We usually just put on one set of triples on the front drive axle. What I do to get em tight is put em on, (similarly to how you start, drape em over the tire, but then I drive on, or back on if already spun out) drive a couple k's, then re-do em to take the slack out. i usually get another link or two, then tighten those little cams. SOB's stay tight ALL day, and I don't have to listen to em... and I don't break any cross links.
