Ran over semi tire and broke my air lines. FML

Well after I got empty I looked over tires and they are shot. Now that I am empty I can feel the tires bumping. What a costly mistake this is for me. At the Utility shop right now seeing if they can fix it or get me parts today. Then gonna go get some new tires on them. Have Michelin on now and they wore great so would like to put them back on but will see what they have in stock around this area.

 

Anyone use the R123 Bridgestone tires for trailer? Since new truck has Bridgestone might try those out.

 

I had thought about it but it is a claim. It would pay for it as I have like a $1000 deductible. So it could be worth it but I am just gonna pay for it and move on. I already have a claim over the transmission issue that was not my fault. So I just don’t want to give them anymore reason to raise rates.

 

I just about had a mental break down over this last issue. Made me so #### mad I wanted to explode. Took about 15 minutes to calm down and just deal with it like everything else in life. It is what it is! In the big picture it is not that big of a deal as is did not mess up my truck at least. Was extremely lucky it was minor damage. Now with that said the trailer is setting at the shop now and the guy suppose to get back to me in a little bit to tell me if they can fix it for me. Hopefully the parts are in stock and they can knock it out in the morning. Will update tonight when I know.

 

Even if they do the tires are not gonna be legal. When I looked at them yesterday I could not really tell since it had melted rubber. When I looked it today after I finished my drive it is almost bare. So gonna have to get new regardless.

This is the first time I have ever damaged the trailer or ran something over in the road. That area is just so tight even if you drive slow people cut in front of you in seconds. This was just north of New York City coming from NH. One reason I hate coming to this area.

 

Well got a call from shop. They have all the parts but closed at 5pm. So they said they can have it ready by 10:00 Am. So that is a win on that situation. Luck is starting to change to the good again. Ha ha
