All the Trucks I drove: Steers 105, Drives 100-105. Trailers were set: 95-105 depending upon freight weight.
EVERY TIME New Tires were installed (Steers, Drives, Trailer), the folks installing NEVER got the pressures correct = S. O. P. (standard operating procedure).
I checked next day to discover near 20 pounds LOW, so out came the side box 50' red air line, to correct.
I NEVER deflated Tires (unless of course air system was stronger than the usual truck stop pressure).
I checked mornings before depart, yes, even in inclement, frigid weather.
Only ever had 2 drive tires explode, same tractor within a 3 month timeline (one south-western N.Y state, other, Florida panhandle). Owner ran re-cap Drives, but real Steer tires.
I've seen 130 p.s.i. a few times on steers and drives. Never deflated.
I ALWAYS avoided the Love's Tires Check Lane at Fuel Islands!!
No Point when Gauging HOT Tires.

Personally I run 85psi max on my drives which according to Continental’s tire inflation chart is over 34000 pounds. Everyone runs different pressures.MartinFromBC, Another Canadian driver and gekko1323 Thank this. -
How the heck are they going to report anyone?
Will they report on me to myself?
Should I slap my own hand for too much or too low psi?
How will they know my tires pressures to begin with?
If it's a person running around with a gauge, I hope she is naked and sexy, also mute, because I don't want to hear her voice yapping about one tire being 110 and the tire beside it only 107.
She better put my valve caps back on to.Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
If weight stations and pilot is getting these systems, then all these power only companies are going to die. Literally 7 out of 10 trailers i move have questionable tires.
krupa530, Another Canadian driver and MartinFromBC Thank this.
