Lost 2 drive tires 7 hrs after repair

300 miles and 7 hours is way too far to have not got out and checked the truck over....especially with new tires. Not sure about the law where you live, but in BC that is actually against the law as well. Here it is the law to stop every four hours or less and inspect your truck, trailer, and load. He would have caught the loose wheels before they flew off if he had. Also surprised he didn't feel a vibration as they were coming loose, and stop to find out why he had a vibration. Tire shops all over, stop by the next town, pull up and say i just had those put on can you check their torque for me. Someone will come out with a torque wrench and check them for you, if you don't drive with your own tools in the truck. This very truck I am in today had new tires put on it last month. I personally drove it away from the tire shop, I checked every lug nut myself after 15 minutes of driving, and again 3 hours later. New tires on my pickup in December, I drove home its 9 minutes from the tire shop, i checked every lug nut on it...and checked them again the next day to. But in a truck i carry tools, i check my own...if i didn't i would pull into a place in the next town, for me that is no more than 2 hours away no matter what direction i head out of town in, stop by the town tire shop, they all do it as a convenience for the customer. He really should have known, if not now he does. People are their own worst enemy usually.
I bet it is even printed on the bill he signed to get them checked within a certain number of miles. Reading what you sign is a great idea!

 

I do not know about Canada, but that printed on the bill here actually means nothing, if and when it goes to court and the shop knows it. It does not relive them of any liability of doing a poor job.

 

LMAO, Where we looked for them with a plane was in the short grass country on I-40 eastern Nm and Tx border.

 

I lost a wheel never did find it. I found one about 20 feet out in the woods. Pure luck that I seen it.
