    Had one down to 95 this week and one that dropped to 80 everyday last week. Some of us still check :) I like keeping tires in one piece they cost to dang much to let em get destroyed because I was to lazy to check.

    I keep my steers at 110 and the rest at 100. Keep the steers at their max rated pressure because I know Missouri will put you out of service if you have more than 12000 on your steers and they aren't inflated to what the max load is

    For example if your tires are rated at 6175 lbs at 110 psi and you have 12,350 on your steer axle, your tires better be inflated to 110 psi.
     
    Rocks and tsavory Thank this.

    They probably think you're just another crazy guy walking around poking a stick at your tires for good luck.

    Whenever I'm there, the shuttle is where I don't need it, after I've already hiked it. Oh well, gotta keep my buff appearance somehow since the most exercise I get working is climbing in the back to slap in a load lock, then swinging those heavy doors LOL.

    My better half, on the other hand, somehow gets the shuttle every time. I think there could be more than chance involved with that coincidence.
     
    Rocks, FatDaddy and tsavory Thank this.
