    argue with your boss and you will be finding a new job. Legal or not, the fines go on the company and not you.

    Not always.
    And the PSP is definitely on the driver.

    Looks legal to me, I'd still replace it. It' getting pretty close to not being legal, on the last inside rib. If I had a boss (But I dont) I'd just run it as asked. Then call in for road service and say it blew. Arguing with the boss over it,you won't win. Soo??? Thats what I would do.

    How does it look legal when the standard is 2/32 in a grove? There are several places it's at 0/32 at where the grove was.

    I think the main thing here is arguing with the boss. I’m no longer a company driver but I recall people arguing with the “boss” about not fixing something legal or not. Guess what, there all the sudden was any work for those guys. “Sorry, no loads for you today I’ll let you know when something comes up”
    Next day someone comes along and drives truck the way it is.

    Did you get that tire fixed? Some DOT may over look that since its kn the trailer but it's worth taking the risk.

    And for good sake just change the darn thing before it goes through someone’s windshield, y’all are so lazy and cheap.
