I think it was in the last episode of IRT#1, Jay was travelling with Hugh and was laughing at another driver because the guy asked Jay about the road and Jay
got all clever and smart-ass and told the guy the hills were so slippery he was thinking about chaining up his trailer axles, then had a great old time on the
radio slagging & dissing the guy to Hugh for being a Rookie, gullible and believing his BS.

Wow Sam, looks like you have been cruising in my photos from work... I wish I had pictures of the call about a month ago. Seems that the local fire department
in Georgia where we do the police towing (remember we are actually in Alabama, but get all the calls there )
Well they were responding to a brush fire at about 11pm, and managed to slide a pumper off the dirt roadway into the ditch, Well they took a brush unit in to fight the fire and drove around it and when they got done, they came back to pull the pumper out, It slid into the ditch also, and so they did not learn. You know they did it right. They called the county road department to bring out a grader... YUP you guessed it, got that stuck in the other ditch... So at 2 AM they call me to come rescue everyone. Nice tow bill for all the winching... But to dark so no pictures
A good reputation is more valuable than money.

I take it that chains on the tandems is supposed to help keep the trailer from sliding?

IB- At the last compnay I drove a Pete for- I had to cross a small driveway to get to the storage trailers next to the cotton fields in Sylvester, Georgia. I
would always complain to to get the driveway widened and twice I almost landed the tandems in the ditch. My company had to call the local Peanut farmer down
the road with his John Deer to pull me out over the small driver.
