In all my years of traveling the highways and byways and having used chains many times on my trucks I have "never" heard of anyone chaining up a trailer axle. Chain up requirement for truckers is regular on some of the high mountain highways here in BC at this time of year, commercial trucks carry chains for the drive axle only, not the steering axle nor the trailer axles. I have to ask what good would it do to have your trailer wheels chained up other than rip off the wheel covers.

Nope ain't going to happen on any trailer I own.

I have to agree, when i used to drive tractor/trailer, i only chained up the drive axle. I see chaining up a trailer axle would hurt more than help, unless you don't care if your trailer gets torn up.
