    That is the most selfish, self-absorbed reply one could give and so prevalent in the industry.

    Then 99% of drivers are selfish and self-absorbed.

    BS...
    1st off that tire went flat while you were pulling it so why should somebody else have to deal with a problem you created..? Because thats what you were gona do is pawn your problem off on the next driver
    Tell me thats not a self centered act ?

    If the rim was bent he probably caused it. Probably spent an hour inside the Wendys at the Pilot making other supertruckers eyes bulge. Not worth responding.

    The air that normally provides the force to move the tandem pins in could be from the same air supply as the air that leaked out of the bent wheel rim.

    I might not have created the problem. The wheel rim might have been bent when I picked up the trailer.

    I was a team driver for years, and every teammate I ever had would have just dropped the trailer with a bent wheel rim if he could get away with it.,

    Was the tire flat when you picked it up ? .. probably not was it ? If it was then why didn't you get it fixed ? If it wasn't that means it happened when you where pulling it probably curbed it and bent the rim and caused the tire to go flat..
    If you responded with you don't know that means you didn't even check the trailer over or do a pre or post trip .. cause you would have seen the bent rim if you did .. No matter what it happened on your watch .. tha the fact that the only way you knew the tire was flat is the guard at where you were fix'n to drop the trailer wouldn't let ya in the place cause you had a flat tire you didn't know the rim was bent either till the mechanic told you and you weren't gona do anything about it either .Face it no matter what the problem was it's on you .. but you was fix'n to pawn it off on somebody else ..that makes you a self centered driver that doesn't check his equipment .. in my book
    Your a steering holder not a driver

    I think your probably right probably crubed it try'n to get in the Pilot or trying to make a U turn somewhere he shouldn't of been
    BTW he has made other members eyes bulge in some.of his previous threads here before .. so again you are correct
