    Okay I’m better at history than science, but I don’t think the poor railroad track would appreciate it very much if you blew him straight to hell and back hahaha

    I run 105 on the steers, 100 on the drives and 100 on the trailer (company trailer comes with Bendix no point bringing it past 100 it’ll just deflate it down eventually)

    Nitrogen is heavier than oxygen so it doesn't migrate or change pressure as easily. I found that for the small additional cost living in Colorado with major temperature fluctuations I was getting more life out of my tires with it. I doubt any companies are running it in their tractor tires though.

    Sometimes the fuel pumps will have an air hose at the island , some shops have a free air hose on the outside of the building u can use . Or if u go into the truckstop they sell airhoses with a glad hand connector that u can hook to ur red trailer line and u can air them up that way

    I recommend picking 1 of those up ASAP. You won't drop and hook as often as us door swingers, but it comes in handy when you get a trailer that has been sitting a while and doesn't have a bendix system.

    What’s the ballpark range of the price to get one?

    Proof tires are dangerous, it’s a company truck, let them deal with it, or fuel at loves and let them air while fueling..
