November is an unpredictable month for weather in the Louisville area. Although it's uncertain how the temperatures will swing, the trend is definitely heading downward as we brace for the arrival of winter. 

Several winters ago, our team at Louisville Switching wanted to be sure a fire department in rural Meade County was prepared for icy and snowy driving conditions and we installed our first Insta-Chain Automatic Ice Chains on their tanker truck. These chains allow large trucks to maneuver through snow and  icy roads safely and are essential for emergency and service vehicles. Here are some of the other features and benefits of the automatic ice chains:

• Fit half ton trucks and up to Class 8 trucks
• Operate in forward and reverse with increasing traction during acceleration and deceleration
• Outlasts conventional chains because you only use them when you need them
• Quick and easy turn on at flip of a switch
• Available in spark resistant chains for gasoline and propane delivery trucks
• D.O.T. accepted - applies to all states with chain laws
• Reduces risks, incidents, and costs
• Ideal for school buses, ambulances, fire trucks, semi trucks, tour buses, transportation buses, garbage and waste trucks, snow plows, utility vehicles, and personal pick-up trucks
