    Tried that always get the run around. The company doesn't seem to care about trailer tires blowing out but I do! Waste of my time we get hourly for brake downs but I'd rather be moving.

    OP wise move buying a commercial grade gauge. I'm sure none of us drivers use our gauge as much as you do. I'm thinking our lifetime use of our gauge may equal your use in a year.
    I would buy the gauge with the lifetime warranty. That is part of the reason they cost a bit more. The cost of replacement is built in the price.
    How do you test the accuracy of your gauge.

    The company shop has a tool that test them I'll stick it on there whenever I pass though and remember. And yes I do use mine a bit more than most some drivers look at me like I'm crazy but I just got fed up with waiting on road service every single week sometimes a couple times a week.

    I recommend Milton. But make sure the head shape is correct. You can often "test them" by finding an air compressor in the shop that has both a gauge and a nearby test "stem" to apply your gauge to and compare to the pressure gauge on the tank. But I don't recommend testing beyond the range of about 100~120 PSI. If your gauge seems to match to another pressure gauge at 140psi, does not mean necessarily mean it will be all that accurate at lower pressures such as 100psi.
