    Been several years, used to haul between LA and Freemont. Two people that know what to do, 2 maybe 3 hours. 53 open top trailer. These were all car tires, so like 1 1/2 bazillion of them.

    I have taken bottled water, like pint size, shoot it on the drum/brakes over and over again. To get the stuff cooled down. The water boils real quick. My team driver almost killed us in WV by smoking the brakes. In Texas I had a trailer tire smoke, oil field water hauling. I pulled off the road in Ohio, did it there. My Jake's quit and had a hot tire, put water in the drum to cool it down quicker. Water works very well. Don't breathe in the drums.

    Unloading car tires sounds like misery. Why don't they make an attachment on a forklift that can scoop them up?

    Because they weave them together kind of like a basket weave
