I’ve got a nail in my drive tire and a hot load.

    We got jerked around doing background checks in SD and then jerked around getting the same background check at a base in WA. We made the delivery with 30 minutes to spare. Most of our loads have a little more wiggle room.

    Thanks, but I’m only average. Our numbers are way down from 2018. My next truck will have that feature. I’m halfway through the warranty on this one so not going to invest for the next guy. I’ve never lost a drive tire and check them all the time because of what we haul.

    I agree.

    Breaking the law to make money with willful disregard to others around him.

    The authorities and attorneys would have had a field day with this thread.

    Admonition noted. Even contemplating running that load with a nail in a drive tire indicates my moral compass is severely askew. I need to hang up the keys for awhile and get some ethics training or consult a spiritual advisor.

    I apologize to all the other Pastafarian drivers for serving as a negative example of our creed, even if only for 120 miles.

    In case you weren’t joking, it’s the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a mockery of theists.
