Touching lugnuts at pre-trip

Yep those are what i saw on a trash truck.

 

Have you tried dripping hot candle wax on them? They usually self tighten right away....

 

The local bus company has them on all their buses and repair vehicles, they don't use yellow or blue, they use burnt orange colored ones. I wonder if the colors are different for a reason?

 

Nope, just brand and preferences

 

How different would a lugnut feel that is torqued to 20 ft-pounds verses 100 ft-pounds? That's like trying to weigh a rock by picking it up. You can't tell the difference between 1,000 pounds & 1,000,000 pounds.

 

I would just get a beam style they are the most accurate anyway and don't need calibration.

Thank you kindly for writing. It is not good for me to be away from Michigan too much because I forget the details like the extra axle on their B trains.

I did not realize assorted work related to tarping etc brought in money. In my time we just tarped it. It in those days did not take long compared to the 3 or 4 days we will be under a load to get it delivered.

One more item, B trains you are involving some pretty good weights. I think ON Might challenge if you carried or used tag axles. But that is just a thought from deep in a little used dustbin in my mind.
