Electric HD jack

The answer to this is a rabbit hole for sure. There are a million of us doing a million kinds of trucking. Company guys and big carriers are never going to spring for this. Way too much liability and they apparently like to hire the inept who can't even change a tire on their own cars if they even own one.

Owner operators are where there is a market for this if any so you might want to move your post there.......but......we have air on board so an air jack makes the most sense but not many of us are going to the trouble to carry it plus the necessary tools just to put our necks out there on the side of the highway full of texting drivers to try and change a flat. That's what roadside services overcharge us for. Their network is already in place and they accept the liability. Sad but true. I hate it for them. I give them all the room I can and then some and still many die every year.

I do all the repairs I can on my truck but fooling with tires is not one I'm remotely interested in doing. Leave this to the guys that do them all day every day.

Good luck with your idea. Sadly, I don't think it would do very well.

 

I’d guess that 97% of the members on here call road services.

And - read some other posts in the forum and you’ll quickly figure a lot of us are struggling to stay in business, no expendable income left.

 

I want one !

 

I'm not sure you can afford one. You need to sell truck and trailer plus sign home equity loan. Look how much is difference in price for let say flashlight. Words MILITARY GRADE ALUMINUM will add $100 to same chinisium garbage.

 

Military air lifting bags is what i'm looking for. Compact, light weight, durable.

 

I have been out here over 9 years. In that time I have had maybe 12-15 tires blow out and required changing on the road.
Less than 2 per year.

I think the cost of keeping equipment in the truck, not to mention the space required for it, is not worth the effort.

 

lifting bags for what ? to lift a truck ?

 

+1 . I have a 20tonn jack in my tuck and never used it on roads..

 

Yes, truck or trailer. It can lift very heavy load.
