I had just put new trailer tires on and the shop a) had a loose stem and b) forgot to turn the auto air system I have back on
Scale pulled me in and said left rear outside tire is low
They let me tighten and air up the tire with no issue but this does already existKy Flash, idriveaholden, Another Canadian driver and 1 other person Thank this. -

We have the cat eyes on the drives that show if set of tires is low. We have auto inflation system on the trailers. Wonderful system. I walk around and check all of them them every time I stop. I also check reefer temp and generally check the trucks over all condition as well as getting in a few extra steps. My dispatcher has plenty to do as it is without having to worry about tire inflation. That’s my job.

Sensors can be installed on each tire and can be read remotely.
Not cheap, though.
