His post I quoted literally says he thought it looked fine. If he can look at a tire and tell it has more than the 50% legal stamped minimum psi according to CVSA I will eat my shirt.
Small trucking companies that will lease me on like Landstar?

Why do these post always go down the toilet with insults and petty acusations. It started out with good info.

Looking at a tire to judge if it’s ok is lazy and irresponsible. It’s quite possible that the DOT erroneously put him OOS for the abs light, which should have been DataQ’d.snowman_w900 Thanks this. -

(Here is a thread with a direct quote from a DOT officer and the section for ABS requirements and violations.)
ABS out of service ?
I agree that tires can pick up nail, road hazards etc and go flat. Looking at a tire before you leave out tells you nothing. The minimum legal psi is at least 50% of stamped sidewall rating plus one psi. Either strike it with a thumper and see or put it on a gauge if it’s questionable. I have an air hose, gauge and a lock on air chuck to air up low tires I find when I hit them with a thumper.
I don’t see how what I am saying is confusing here.Last edited: Jan 4, 2019

Do you think the scale house stops you on the scale and gauges your air to decide to pull you in for inspection or not? It's not hard to spot a low tire when loaded. Being loaded is the easiest way to see a low tire. -
