Yea......
I have had a "rash" of mis-fortune this month.
One - 3 Drive tires Blow at once!
By the Grace of GOD, it was right by Brown's Tire in Sealy, Tx.
I was loaded with Drill-pipe heading to a Pipe yard in Houston.
Two - On my way to a pipe yard in Magnolia, Tx, Noticed a Bubble on the sidewall of a trailer tire. Stopped in Sealy, tx and replaced that.
Three - 2 more tires Blow on my tractor just 16 Miles from my home........
Nothing to do, but "ROAD SERVICE" (expensive)
I was Loaded with Casing to be delivered to a rig Location just outside of my hometown the next morning.
I had now developed a "shake" in the front end at certain speeds.... So After making my Delivery, I put "Her" in the Shop.
(also noticed a rear axle seal going out)
Replacing a Steer Tire, Fixing an Axle seal, and getting the tractor inspection.
It has been in the Shop Over the weekend...
I am missing a Load right now, because it is Not ready yet!
But anyhow, Hopefully I will have a "incident free" period for a while.
Tires are about to eat me out of house and home!
