Chains & Explosives

[TeamCaffee]

We recently learned this tidbit of information so thought we would share:
You can run chains when hauling flammables or explosives.
We were sure glad to learn this as we prefer to keep going then to pull over.

Thanks Linda and Bob

I didn't know that either. But it's still good to know. Can you add a link where it says that please? That way I can keep it in our Haz Mat folder in my office.

I would also like to know where in the regs it shows that? I looked everywhere and couldn't find anything on it.

Thanks Bob and Linda

I found this info on the State of Colorado Chain Regulations:

WHERE CAN I CHAIN-UP?
Trucks placarded for Flammable, Combustible, or Explosives may pass the chain-up signs and install their chains where the pavement is covered by snow or ice, at a safe location outside the traveled portion of the highway.​

I sure wouldnt want to take the pass around Eisenhower tunnel in the wintertime,not enough money to route me east or west bound thru Colorado in the winter,especially with hazmat

Explosives or not, our bag of chains says "DO NOT REMOVE FROM BAG"
