This tire needs to be replaced ASAP right?

I've never seen a company pay money to replace shocks. If that's your truck and you want new shocks go buy some and put them on yourself. Don't pay somebody to do it. They'll probably rip you for several hundred dollars on what amounts to about an hour easy DIY.

 

Well the tech is an idiot. The shocks are leaking oil.. As what happens when shocks go bad.. I'd be questioning the knowledge of the shop and the tech on why the shocks are leaking oil if they are still good... bunch of bafoons. That's about par for the course on the quality of shops these days.

 

It sounds like they're trying to cut costs but if they don't keep something as simple and necessary as shocks in stock they're going about it the wrong way.
Don't let their penny-pinching ruin your driving record.

 

Last thing you want is a tire to let go when your at top speed, I'll assume these are on the back of your trailer, I certainly would not drive any further if there on your steers. They might be fine just to use as a spare to get you out of trouble if you do get a flat, but I wouldn't be trying to use them under constant load at high speeds over long distances on a hot road surface.

 

Those steer tires are fine.

The drive tires are dry rotted but I think y’all were a little too dramatic saying they all are going to blow. If that truck was mine, I would be hunting for new tires. I worked at a good year plant before getting a CDL for 5 years. Those tires would pass a dot inspection.

I’ve never heard of a company replace shocks before. As an owner, I replace about 150k-200k because if you don’t the tires you do put on won’t last as long. Soon as I see one lose oil I replace all.

 

Having worked in an industry thats even more litigious than trucking have them put their seal of approval on whatever your company uses to track DVIR's.
Just be prepared for the consequences.
Companies have figured out how genius Ronald Reagan's "Plausible Deniability" really is for the bottom line.

 

Tire blows, you get into an accident because of it, you kill say two people enjoying their new car, you and the company get sued, their lawyers and insurance company covers a settlement but you as the driver in charge are not part of that settlement and you lose the trial and have to pay a lot of money, beside losing your cdl.

this is what is meant by consequences.

One main reason why of a driver calls here and tells me they have a bad tire, it gets replaced asap, no bs about it because lawsuits cost more than new sets of tires.
