Yepp…that’s something you have to get used to… 
and if you do’nt like it…than can it be a long long looong winter , but use icechains and not the normal snowchains… 
…These pictures are taken in januari 2006,and not yesterday
Martin Benjamins I guesse you get a lot back problems putting those on all the time. In the old days it was old roads going up Mont Blanc from the French side. It would take me hours putting the full chains on & then when I reached the entrance to the tunnel I would have to take them off again . Thru the tunnel to the Italian descent ;put them on on again. It was worse over the Appenines ( More tunnels) In Italy I bought some really light ones that were in three seperate pieces & easy /quick to fit. If I was lucky just chain up one wheel & go up on the diff lock… 
I dont envy you Martin . But on the bright side there wont be a rush of new EEC friends ready to jump in your saddle… [/b]
Martin Benjamins Out of curiosity, I notice you are hauling containers. Do you have to help unload them in Norway…? Because here we dont even have to open the back doors if we dont want to…

It shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes per tyre (or 10 at tops) to put on the “one tyre chain” after some practise. I don’t know if time to put on “double tyre chain” differs much from that. It is also possible to put “one tyre chain” to drive axle, put if (when) drive axle spins you can have huge problem at your hands.
Martin, I’ve heard that in Norway it’s (or has been) common practice at winter to drive truck with outdoor clothes on so that when truck falls from cliff, and you don’t have time to nothing more than jump, you don’t freeze before you can get some shelter. How much of this is true nowdays, or has it only been some rumor amongst those Finnish drivers that have driven to Norway at winter?

It take’s 5 minutes to put one chain on…we have to take them off when we drive in tunnels over 6 km…

We try to have as much wheight on the drive axle as possible, when the wheels are spinning we lift the boggi axle,just to have max presurre on the drive axle…When we use chain’s we often use one chain on the richt side of the truck,so when you have to put one the other one you do’nt have stand on the cliff side… we use the one tyre chains whit 6-8 cm piggs on it.
I never heard about the outdoor clothes…i think it’s a rumor

Yes they come by train from Oslo, we drive them from Ã…ndalsnes to Ã…lesund and have to unload them, we get help though
Martin Benjamins; Well it keeps you fit ,I suppose… our chains were the huge double things. It was easier to jack the axle up than struggle . But even that meant crawling around in the snow…
Thats the best one. The one with the curtains drawn
