    I'm pulling out my high card dogchimp and I've had to use it a few times. "If that's the worse thing that happens to you trucking you'll be fine." No one was hurt that's the important thing. Now stay out of trouble for awhile and watch your top notch.

    One thing I noticed in the picture when looked at it again. It appears the mudflap is dragging the ground. If the tire had been blown long, the bottom would have been worn off. The rounder corners are still there. Mention that if they start with the accident stuff.

    I would have to disagree with that too. It's a things happen type thing unless you actually hit something and caused it to blow, and with the inflation system it sure didn't run low on air.

    Good for you dogchimp, i hate to see that companies are taking advantage of people for something like that. Of course i am not even sure it should be called an incident, but still better than accident - Roll on

    That is a first for me. How could you drag anything that far and not see the smoke. Makes me glad we are a 2 truck outfit.
