christina, what kind of truck you drive? i drive.. but unfortunatly not nearly as big... just a big 4 wheeler with big long trailer... 40' straight pull flat deck or a 53' wedge 5th wheel. boat transport so nothing nearly as heavy.. (27000lb max) but went to chitown last saturday, and may be turniing a run to havasu. shortly.. chaining is a serious pita no mater what you drive..
