Blown tire: how far do you think I can drive?

you could take off the bad tire/rim and just run a single rim/tire on both sides of the axle if you meet weight requirements.

 

You are allowed to drive the vehicle to a parking haven where repairs can be made. This doesn't mean drive to a repair shop 50 miles away if you pass by a scalehouse. The scalehouse counts as a parking haven, and you WILL get a OOS violation if you try to continue passed the scalehouse. However, if you were to tell the scalemaster your situation and ask if you can park there until repairs are made, the scalemaster might forget you said anything about a blown tire. No harm, no foul. Contuining on is a irresponsible and idiotic thing to do.

 

Jfaulk99,you insult someone for not assuming what you think is obvious.
Your statements show you made up your mind before you started reading.
If you had read all off this carefully,then you would have seen that the OP stated in his first posts that the remaing tyre was allready hot when he still had 140 miles to go.

So my dear sir,i suggest you assume less and read more.

A tyre with a slow leak isn't the same as running with a blown tyre.

 

I'm not talking about your HOS, but driving with the blown tire.

As a line haul driver you are given a few extra hours a week on your 14, so extending your 14 to 16 is legal.

 

It doesn't matter how minute you think a mistake was. Also, that wasn't a mistake because you CHOOSE to continue driving with a blown tire. A mistake is not a mistake when you choose to do it. Driving 70+mph with a blown tire was another dumb thing to do, especially when you previously knew the other tire was hot. Do you want a accident? Do you want to kill someone? It may be a inconvienence to park for a few hours during repairs, but that's nothing compared to loosing your CDL and ultimately, your freedom.

The load may be hot, but you need to remember one thing, and remember it well: no load is worth your life or the life of someone else. A good employer will not fire you because you refused to drive their faulty equipment. If they did fire you, then they did you a favor as they aren't worth driving for.
