    It is actually hard to pinpoint any one thing.
    What did the outside tire look like.

    Louisiana has a lot of drive thrus that sell Daiquiris. I even saw a bar down on U.S.190 with a drive thru. I'm sure everyone waits until they get home to start drinking.
    Texas has more cities going wet with every election. But here in Arkansas, individual cities can't go wet. For off sale anyway We're dry here but there are a some restaurants that sell some alcohol. VFW has a pretty lively bar too. We get to Texarkana enough to het the package stores there. Weird thing is Texarkana, Tx is dry, while Texarkana, AR is wet. Stateline Ave run right on the border with liquor stores all down the Arkansas side.

    I've oftentimes wondered how the empty 12 packs, 40's, and such end up at the fuel island.

    Normal enough. I didn’t take a photo so it was probably fine. There’s more tire photos of other tires on that trailer...just beat to ####. Not worth posting.

    If one tire is bad on the dual and the other is going bad, usually the bean counters replace one. Then the cycle is never ending.

    That reminds me. Just inside the Indiana border on 70 coming from Illinois is someone's dual sitting in the weeds.

    It's still all fastened together.

    Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

    Ahhh yes the inefficiencies to save a penny that cost a dollar in the long run.

    On time delivery is so important in this industry, so of course save a penny so the load is late.

    Idiots.

    Yea and no. Who's driving the trailer? Will it be cheaper to replace both before someone curbs it and slices it so it has to be replaced twice?

    As much as i hate how it is now, the implications of a late load ( especially across Large carrier fleets) makes cost wasting like this irrelevant if it gets the load delivered.

    now flip that, and for small or O/O, these things are mission critical.
    Hence we tend to keep things properly maintained to minimize downtime

    The O/O doesn't just drive over things like the company driver does either though. "F it man. It ain't mine."
