how many of you do it every morning ?

Amazing how many wheelseals "just started" leaking, when the inner sidewall is completely saturated with oil. By the time the oil gets past the brake shoes and onto the tire, it's been leaking for a while.

 

If this were true no truck would ever break down.
This is the daily list.
Lights, tires (not psi daily) air lines, connections, mudflaps, load securement (flatbed) and a few other odds and ends I forgot.
Every other day I check oil, belts, hoses, fluid levels, exhaust.
Once a week I check brakes, psi my tires, drive shafts and u joints, winch connections and others I can't remember.
Im sure I forgot some. I do a complete inspection on new trailers every time I get one. I also inspect 5th wheel and grease them when I drop trailers.

 

Truck and trailer gets a full pretrip before I get rolling for the day, under the engine and all that. As well as an inspection before I turn in for the night.

 

Watched a guy spend 45 minutes rearranging his stuffed animal collection in his truck , never check a thing on the truck or trailer then left the truck stop bouncing over the potholes with his suspension on both truck & trailer deflated.

 

Please for the love of god tell me you're joking right.

 

Great attitude!

 

Thats CRAZEEEEE. WOW.

 

If the wheels are still on it LETS ROLL! j/k but I knew a few like that. I always look my stuff over good before and after. Your only hurting yourself when you dont and break down on the interstate somewhere. Also when you pull a tank your crazy not to walk around and check product valves. Had a few of those get mysteriously opened.
