    I've been to 4 Petro/Ta's to fill my air in my tires. ALL of them have removed their air hoses to fill truckers tires. I went into the shop to ask where they were. They said they were told to remove them cause TA didn't want to run the air compressor. Isn't this a basic need at a truck stop?

    I can't blame them when you have ignorant and lazy drivers that don't roll the hose back up or just run it over.

    Are you using pass thru valve stem caps or is it the valve stem itself?

    1/4” air hose doesn’t flow enough air volume. I use 3/8” hose and fittings. Works much faster.

    If your truck air compressor is regulated at 120 psi, how do you put 100-110 psi in a tire when the pressure drops below 100 when you start filling a tire with the gladhand air hose? You can't fill to 100 psi with 90 psi.
