    The other person in my truck takes care of the driver. Wash, cook, clean, service the driver, etc.

    Time to report on my fresh hell:

    Two flat tires.

    I can't even be mad at anyone but jbs. The tires are brand new, I think a yard dog spun the trailer too fast with it fully loaded and poped the bead. Both inner tires on the front axle...

    If those tires are ok, no holes or leaks or anything. And if the trailer has the air to the wheels system. They will reseed themselves from the heat of a highway.

    I had one like that, drove ten miles to a TA and it was back on the rim and fine. Called breakdown back and they said it's because the road heat.
    Thought I was losing my mind. lol
    Had that trailer for a while after that. No more problems.

    The auto air system drained them. Well, one the other was leaking at the valve stem. And of course after leaving, abs light.

    I can't win.
