    Cj, I'm a lazy #### so it takes me all weekend at home. I'll do a bit, go inside for an hour, work another ten minutes, go back inside for an hour. if you stayed at it,probably four hours for 8 drives. after I cut them I get another 60 to 80k miles out of them.

    Thanks, I think this was supposed to be directed at me. Ok, now that makes me think. It's definitely worth it then, but will my lazy ### want to do that, or just suck it up and take the casing credit.

    Oh I was wanting to know too. That many miles is about a year these days. Not sure I'd do it myself but I've seen places that do it. Might be worth a a look see for me next time tires become an issue for me.

    Some tire shops will do it. Runs about thirty bucks a tire. so that's two hundred and forty bucks. Or four hours start to finish. up to you if saving sixty bucks an hour is worth it. Consider no matter who does it, you still got to be there with the truck. So it still takes the same amount of time out of your life.

    The family Nick name for Len, safety director. He has been with mercer in different roles since the 70s. And while I've never had the pleasure to be called in his office for a major screw up, I stop by and say hey when I can. He is just that good of a guy.

    Speaking of stopping by. The wounded warrior drive is still going on. these guys put everything on the line for us and get thrown out with the trash when they come home with severe brain damage, blown off arms and legs and worse. if we all just give a few bucks it will change the lives of entire families. You won't miss that twenty bucks but they will. Stop by or Call Libby in the company store. She can take a credit card over the phone, or even deduct it from your reserve or next load.
