    I had a drop and hook 20 miles from the house. The trailer they had me pick up had 2 flats, 1 was off the bead (it had that auto air system). Called trailer maint, they told me to take it home and if they were still flat call them back and they would send someone out. So I did. Got home, and everything was fine...

    A friend had 5 flat tires (all drives) once and has no idea how it happened. Ended up being nails, was able to latch all 5. Man that’s terrible though.

    It was vandalism. I put more of the story in a thread in Experienced Trucker's advice so more people would see it. Hope it helps others. So far no one on the forum has spoken up that they were hit too but 10 trucks or so out of millions isn't that many.

    A group in Europe are drilling out semi tires as a protest. I’d be giving my tire thumper a workout lol
