Thanks Lumper -- that's a relief!

 

I agree. If we HAVE to do it a tire cradle would be helpful.

 

Picked up potatoes in Monte Vista CO headed to Moberly MO. Classic run, just call me mr potato head or something

 

I'm a little behind. Not been on here much this week. Anyway wanted to let ya know on the older trucks the 670's they have an exhaust bracket brace behind your cab. If ya bring a tire back stand it up between the frame rails and strap top of tire to that angled brace. The only one that will make ya bring it back is larry and he doesn't always remember to tell ya to. When you get a newer truck they no longer have that bar as our exhaust is underneath. I tried strapping a tire to the parallel grab bar on back of the cab once but it scuffed the paint. I showed that to chris in the shop an told him i didn't wanna be held responsible for damaging the paint he told me from now on just leave the old tire behind. Nate asked me once to bring one back an i told him i no longer had anywhere to put a tire and he was fine with leaving it. Since that one occurrence I've always left the tire behind and no one has said a word to me about it. I guess if ya absolutely had to on the newer trucks ya could lay one flat on the catwalk an strap it down. I'd be wondering about my airlines catching it tho. Anyway hope all that mile long story is of some assistance.

 

10-4 Mr. Potato Head. Lol lol lol

 

We're on our way back from palmyra now. Just switched drivers at Cambridge oh. I'm hittin the sack. 2 turns this week to palmyra so far and next we're headed to san Antonio for friday morning.

 

I see the brace now that you mention it. That's doable if they really want the tire corpse. If (when) I have a flat I'll ask them if I absolutely have to bring it back and take it from there. Thank you for such a detailed response.
