    Yes it was. Had I more time, I think I would've called someone. It does bother me that he "may" not have gone to that tire shop and kept on driving on it.

    The obvious has already been said.

    But I will say that a proper load check every 15m for the first hour would have prevented that. Straps came loose early. That load could have made it. I’m not saying it was right.......just saying
