    Time to grab a supervisor because that's utter nonsense. It's practically extortion.

    This is a true Michigan story if I've ever heard one. Probably the prick that runs around Pontiac and Flint?

    He has been known to write a ticket for a flat on a lift axle in the air. Empty trailer.

    Yep, just south of the scale I ALWAYS dodge. He was a black guy. Typical rude attitude. Shiney Nazi boots. Lol. You know the drill.

    Up in Quebec, most drivers used to have removeable mudflaps on the tractor, and always took them off when hooked, especially in the winter.

    Bah, half inch air might do the trick but a 3/4 cordless impact does tire lugs at 500 ft lbs no problem (mines makita), snugs them well to 450 easy too

    360$, tool only, got mine a while back was easily 100$ cheaper, but i already have the battery buy-in on them
