I purchased a case of these directly from the manufacturer a few years back for $10 plus shipping, so the sale price sounds really good to me (figure that shipping and taxes are about the same in my location...).

We use the same model at work (chained together in pairs, similar to what I have done with the ones I use on my MV's) and like them a lot. Nice thing about them is that they grip a little better on pavement than the wooden or steel chocks, and they don't scuff pavement as much either. You can run over them in a duece or five ton, but you have to work at it...

Enjoy them.

PS: I tend to chock the "off side" or "curb side" as it forces me to walk around the truck (pre and post drive check) and it keeps me from bending over near traffic... Also, walk down the driver's side to the rear then back down the passenger side so you are facing oncomming traffic...
