    Well now you are fully rested. I would say it is a win win.

    I did paperwork before leaving to come to my drop off which is a jobsite. One of our other drivers is bringing a load here too. I figured he'd have already been here and dropped off. Nope he just pulled up behind me, 20min after I got here. He said "the thing says after 8am". Bro what construction co doesn't start work until 8am? Rotfl.

    You like having "fresh rubber" it appears. Does this only apply to trucking? Don't forget to wash your hands!:p

    Im laughing with you, I swear. Ive had the week you're having and worse.

    Which tire? Because if that dude hit you hard enough (I know he did) it could've shifted your axles or twisted the trailer.

    Id find whatever dealer your trailer make is and have them inspect it.

    Edit: See why I say things happen for a reason? You could've been rolling along in the middle of the night and had that blowout if you hadn't slept through your alarm.

    My observation from last night parking lookout. Two flatbedder need 3 spots to park. One hotshot - two spots. If parking has no lines it could be worst.

    No its completely unrelated tire. I picked up a nail in it a couple weeks ago... had my eye on it since i found the nail . Small leak but went flat during driving today... but thats about how trucking goes... everything breaks all at once. Lol i let my company know about getting alignment checked , but its their equipment so they have the final say.
