Small trucking companies that will lease me on like Landstar?

Your theory doesn’t pass the test on several fronts. Light load? Inside tire? The scale can’t see about 70 percent of your tires inside the scale house. None on the opposite side, none on the inside, no trailer tires can be seen either at a lot of scale house controls. Most of the time they have the computer set to random, or they look at the company’s CSA score, or they spot something obvious (weight, light out, etc).

 

You should go to loves tire check each and every day during pretrips.

 

Don't some states have the capability of seeing the other side?

If you can't spot a inside low or flat tire by looking at the outside. If you can't spot a low tire with even a light load. You should probably get your eyes checked.

It doesn't take much of a bulge on the outside to see that something is up with ONE of the axle tires. And if the inside is low it'll bulge more then the outside.

 

20/10 vision according to my DOT physical, which means I can see at 20 feet away what normal can see at 10. Been that way since my first physical in 2004. The standard for a low tire is 55 psi on a 110 sidewall rating, you can look at a tire and tell it’s 56 or better? My hats off to you.

 

Any of these low @snowwy?

 

Yea that one back there on other side of trailer last set of tandems outer tire... looks a lil low...

 

55 is irrelevant.shogun

80 is a good start for seeing.

 

Best guess
Starting at left steer. 110, 100, 101, 102, 102, 103, 100, 100, 102.
Staring at right steer 109, 100, 103, 104, 100, 101, 102, 80(yep, you’re right) and 101.

75 degrees, 80 percent humidity, truck has been sitting 1 hour

 

55 is quite relevant, as that is the CVSA standard to put a truck out of service on 110 pressure rating.

 

I'm lazy.. I just let loves do it and I keep the print out... i drive the same truck and the same trailer all the time so I bought know what it is at any given time...
