Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

On our company Cascadia we got 75k out of our steers...then they started popping, treads were fine...no ABCs...just cruising I70 and wham! Was an experience to remember with a beer load on us lol. Now they each blew within a week of each other...and two days ago we had to get another set at 180k.

From everything I gathered Cascadia are the worst for out of the factory alignment and since Schneider doesn't align, balance or anything the tires, stands to assume they would give faster.

Does balancing and aligning (rotating?) the tires on a truck make much difference?

 

I only got 100 k on my steers, and yes I did alignments. how many miles is everyone getting on drives?

 

The only time it makes sense to take 122 is if you're coming from or going to the south and west. Everytime I've ever headed into big island I was coming from the north so Lynchburg across 130 is the only way. Way too much out of route miles going all the way around to 122. Going south or west then yeah 122 is a way better way

 

Our drives are still original at 184k

 

460 is like any other 4 lane road in VA. As narrow as possible with no shoulder.

 

225,000 on steers , Michelin XZA3+Evertread. 450,000. Yokohama 517 MC2 centramatics all way round.

 

Anybody know if sni will put my incident on my Dac report after I leave the company. It's not on there now know police was call or anything just hit a poll after getting stuck in the mud cost sni no money

 

When and where was this. And was it your fault that u got stuck in mud? Pole damage? Tractor or trailer damage? Did u slid into it?

 

The pole failed to yield the right of way

 

A year ago, it was at one of GP locations and if they don't smooth the dirt out you will get stuck in the mud if u don't know what to watch for. Easy for a new driver witch I was at that time.... I'm not the first want be the last no damages but I wasn't going to hit it and leave and somebody watching a camera decides to make a big deal out of it. GP didn't worry about the pole was fine it's still there now. Just want to know after I leave sni will they put the incident on my Dac as of right now it's not there.
