BD69: The Owner Operator Chronicles

Okay I was wondering what was going on there. I won't put retreads on anywhere on my truck or trailer they're just too much of a gamble I think. My old man's had his set of retread Michelins on for whats got to be 120,000 by now though so maybe I'm just chicken.

 

When I was with TMC they put new tires on the trailer I had at the time .
When i stopped to do my first load check after they changed out the tires i found the recap on one tire was gone. It still held air and the side walls were there.

 

Have no problem with running caps. The quality and life span has more to do with who did the work.
Not a fan of bandag have to admit.

 

I've had my ups and downs with caps over the years and they have they're place , but not on this truck as I'm heavy a lot .

 

This is actually a good video. It is about making tires.
Try not to get to snarked by the narrator.

 

Yeah..the narrator is a bit of a drone.
It is one of the better ones. Has a good amount of information in it.

 

Sucks
