Drivers...Check Your Tire Pressure!!!!!

Us truckers already do that...

The steering wheel holders...Not so much.

 

Sadly enough if it doesn't involve eating or sitting around complaining...Most steering wheel holders aren't interested!

The line I hear most often from the idiots is..."It aint my #### truck so I aint gonna mess with it!!!"

 

Checking the tires by kicking them is a no no. I keep vise grips next to me in case of an emergency but usually I use it to hit the tires all the way around. You can hear the tone of a low tire compare to ones that are properly inflated. I also carry 45 feet of rubber airline to air up any low tire I may have and my air gauge.

 

I've always used a hammer....It works well for the "fuel island" thump but I put a guage to all of them every week...Including the spare!

I will not run recaps either...Tractor or trailer!

 

It may not be theirs put I just wonder how they make a pay check..

 

Good question....They're always here complaining that they don't make enough money but from what I see every day out here they're getting paid more than they're worth!

 

This may be a little off-thread, but I wonder how often people pay for alignments when all they needed was to spend time making sure their tires had the recommended air pressure.
