    Thank you; I’ve been hitting them with a hammer every day because it was all I had at first

    When in doubt the Tire Pressure Gauge is the most accurate way and you are learning good habits now. Sucks your trainer didn't teach you any of this. But hey, that's trucking we learn stuff every day out here.

    We all learn a little everyday, and teaching helps us learn more.

    Haha yes, but I’m gonna have to try again on one of them because it’s been apparently so long they’ve been taken apart it’s wanting to unscrew the whole thing instead of just that one part and I can’t even get it off with two pairs of pliers; I sprayed it with some WD-40 prior to fooling with it, so maybe time will be on my side; I can, however, report that all the other trailer tires are at 100 psi and above
