Tires and Plates...

OMG!!!!!!

 

yes you can tell. no you have to take off the outside dual first.

So how did that registation work for ya? Did the DMV agent in Maine laugh at you as hard as I'm laughing?

Every state has a residency law. You must be a resident of that state with a pysical adress before getting your driver's lisence & registering your vehicle with in that state. Also every state has laws saying that is you stay a certain amount of days.... You are now a resident & must comply.

Semi-Trailers can be registered differently. And mostly they get registered with whatever state gives them a pernament non expiring plate at the cheapest price. Maine use to be the winner in that department. But I think Illinois has taken over that battle.

You obviously can't be that ignorant. Buyt if you are, please stay away from tractor trailers.

 

As part of the required pre-trip inspection you must carefully examine all the tires on the vehicle. And depending on the trailer/load you might be required to check them periodically during the trip and on the post-trip inspection.
It is very important to know if the inside dual is flat, if fully loaded the 2 tires together are rated to carry about 10,500 llbs. If one of them is flat, or even low on air pressure, the load on the remaining tire is almost twice its rated capacity, which is very dangerous.

Thumping the tire will give an experienced driver a fair indication of the inflation, but the only real way to check is with a tire gauge. It is estimated that 1 or more tires on an 18 wheeler is 10% underinflated on at least 80% of the vehicles out there....

That is one of the reasons you see so much rubber on the road...
