    Popped just 15 miles from I 70 on US 191. Checked my pressure this morning and all was well. So much for going the summer without a trailer blowout.

    Guys at the West Wind truck stop in Green River, UT are on it. :)

    The gator wrapped itself around the axle. Never seen that happen before.

    Honestly I haven't been there in years but last time there it was 8 hours in the door. Which is why I booked my reload as a preload with an all day window to pick up :biggrin_2559:

    And just about any other highway in that area! I enjoy driving the rez. Shoot I love that whole part of the country, but I've seen an awful lot of crap out on 160 between 89 and Cortez at night. . .

    Wait for it. Somebody's gonna come along and tell you "If you had done a pretrip, you wouldn't have had this problem."
    Probably either a student, or a "veteran driver" of less than one year. . .:biggrin_25523:
     
    TruckDuo and Rocks Thank this.

    PackRat, it's all your fault. You should have done a pre-trip. Shame on you. :biggrin_25514:
     
    FatDaddy, Rocks, Big Don and 1 other person Thank this.

    I pressure test every time before I roll. And both those tires were put on recently judging by the tread. Oh well.
