    I don't want to explain why I didn't notice the hub seal that's leaking on the inside of the rim, or a cracked something or other... I don't want to be asked about it years down the road either.

    I do my pretrip everynite when I check the girlfriend for leaks....:)

    Both of my steer tires that were leaking form punctures were found
    1. At the fuel island when I was checking tires
    2. On a post trip

    It woulda been real bad had I not inspected the tirez

    I don't know, but I have been next to the guy who decide to do his air governor cut off and low pressure test at 3 a.m.. Nothing is better than hearing him pump the #### out of his brakes while you're sleeping, let the pressure build, and then do it again.

    When I see someone doing a full blown inspection of their truck at a truck stop, I usually think they are fresh out of driving school.
     
    tangerineGT, tucker and BigBluePeter Thank this.
