Question for those of you who pull sets of pups.
How often do you find nails and screws in your pup tires?

It went to another level when I started pulling Cooper pups. I'm perplexed. Do other outfits clean up their docks better? Do their dockworkers not trash skids so much in the first place? Is running with nails a normal part of linehaul for everyone? Are people just not noticing?
It's funny. I don't think I've ever pulled a pup with less than 8/32 tread. They never live that long.misterG Thanks this. -
Hostlers by me have a large magnet hanging off the front end to pick up nails and other metal objects. I’ve only found a nail in the tire a couple times. Brought it to the shop and they pulled it out. Tire didn’t loose air so off I went.

Step on one of those nails and we will see how fast this gets cleaned up.
