    Your logic is correct. However paying $25 is the issue you seem to not have a problem with. 200 miles with a trailer vs bobtail is major fuel mileage difference...Not to mention under SNI's policy hauling an empty means you can't line 5....and if your hours are tight then you can't get home.

    Every Single sidewall I've looked at says max load. I run 105 steer & 100 drive and that's not going to change. That's the recommendation from both tire shops I've asked & from the firestone rep.

    Plus, running your tires at max psi gives a really really rough ride. I have a Mack and it's already a stiff ride to begin with.

    The agreement stated that if you choose to leave out of an area that you have to shuttle an empty trailer for $25 within that particular market, then pick up a different empty in the market you went to for your next load. If you didn't shuttle that trailer you'd have to return all the way back to that market to pick up an empty and load or be subject to the fine.

    The second they tried to get you to pull an empty into a completely different market you had no obligation to do that under the contract.

    I could care less how you run your business. You're the one that came on to social media to complain. If you're offended by comments, then I would advise against it.

    No clue... I check them cold and never have checked them hot....

    That's why that psi on the side wall is max cold. Think if 120psi was the minimum what the max would be...?

    I'm wrong plenty.... not on this one tho.
