Last minute option added to our trailer, tire inflation

The Tiremaxx Pro is the better system when your trailer tires get overheated in the summer months it can save you $$$. On our trailer it is the cats meow!! Better tire wear and if you have a nail or other object cause a tire leak the light will notify you that something is awry..

 

just put a touch of teflon sealant on those threads ,

 

@Nahbrown --

I'm really impressed that you guys landed a job hauling military loads THIS SOON out of CDL school.

This tells me:

• you brought with you some significant CDL-related experience from being in the military
• you really wowed your carrier somehow in the interview process
• some combination of both the above

In any case -- CONGRATULATIONS!!!

And -- best of luck.

Swivel seizes, not the NPT threads. It's really awesome when both sides are seized up.

 

Your talking about tractor systems, don't think he knows that.

 

HA! You guys are as predictable as 6:00 at 5:30. I'm normally not an agitator, but you guys have what is called "digital dependence". You couldn't possibly know what it's like to live without it. We do, we've seen the gradual change. Of course it's for the better, but it will do us in, and you may never even know it, because you are so intertwined with it. Our society can't "go back" and just as well, it was a tough job then, I couldn't imagine a new graduate doing that job 30 years ago. We didn't need "schools", we knew what to do, or could figure it out, that's what a boss looked for and little by little, it got easier. Better? Not sure, but I think there will be another "revolution" of sorts, and perhaps then you'll understand what we were talking about. It's not so bad, we laughed at our peers that marveled at power steering, air dryers and S cam brakes, so it's all relative, as I couldn't handle YOUR jobs today.
For the record, RR still uses tube type, some construction, but I think you are all a bit too concerned about that .06 pounds of pressure, when yeah, properly aired tires do last longer, but back then, tires weren't such a big deal and $50 bucks got you another one.

 

Understood

 

I’ve never dealt with this system you all are referring to. I’m with @201 , I thump my tires at every stop. I carry 50’ of hose with quick disconnects, glad hand, and air chuck and gauge. Today’s newer generation are just spoiled rotten. That’s all….. please continue
