    Unless you want to wake up real fast then do it. The results are shocking.

    To help build air, always start the engine with the throttle pedal to the floor. Don't let of till the dryer pops, then do repeats of idle to full throttle.

    Make sure you hear a hiss somewhere, like air escaping. That’ll help keep fresh air in the system.

    Yep, also saves on maintenance. Like a major oil leak, you really never need to change your oil filter cause the oil is always new.

    Foamy urine wastes a lot of space in bottles. Easily missing out on 2-3 fl. oz's. Make sure you account for this.

    Also, Love's roller dogs (specifically Love's) are one of the best values in truck stops. Might clog your arteries, but it's better than most fast food hot dogs.

    Idk if any of what I said counts as advice. Just observations from years of degeneracy

    From the mobile repair side.
    When you tell your company that you just have a flat tire. You’re better off telling them the whole story.

    Yep, that's why they give you personal conveyance, so you don't need to worry about running out of time.

    Looks like the tire was still good, which makes it even better. Did it get remounted?

    Tire was scrapped no way it was good after a impact like that.
