Why I hate wide singles on a truck.

Not when it’s really upsetting a very good customer whose on the verge of shutting down because I didn’t get there when I was supposed too

 

Yeah, I actually work for a 5 truck owner that is leased on with the company. Tractors are ours trailers are theirs and their specs but yes it has Central Tire Inflation system. No warning lights or anything prior. Just BOOM! then sparks fly as fender and rim drag on the pavement

 

On top of it, tire outfit brought out wrong offset rim with new tire so now it sets inboard of front axle. Not a big deal but looks goofy

 

No still waiting for someone to come out and get lights and Mudflap on

 

Don’t really care that much. Their trailer, their customer, their rules. Not my job to figure out if wide base singles are cost effective enough to justify them. That’s why they have a fleet manager. I’m just glad I have the ability to put the receiver on ignore so he stops blowing up my phone. They can blow up dispatchers phone. Then I can put him on ignore to when he starts calling me. I’ll take ‘‘em off ignore when repairs are complete
