    What's so hard about using the gauge every day? Think about it, how much longer does it really take to use the gauge vs. tapping the tire a few times?

    This tire knocker business is a load of crap imo.

    Makes a huge difference in fuel economy too. Nothing like an underinflated tire to kill that, especially this time of year. When it goes from warm to cold, your tire pressures drop too.

    Was watching a Schneider driver in Jamestown NM back in December while I was updating the funny pages...

    Pulls cab curtains back, gets out. Comes back to tractor with coffee, looks at left steer... goes over to the right, kicks the right steer... gets in, takes a pull off of the coffee, fires it up and leaves.

    The only thing that will be "sweeping" will be the workers sweeping up the highway after those morons who "pencil-whip" their pre-trips break down or, worse...take out a soccer-mom and her kids....:biggrin_2556:
