    I bet that could easily be defeated in court, and I'm not even a lawyer.

    Let's say you have a set of duals that are identical in every way except that one is properly inflated and the other one is underinflated by, say, 20 PSIG. The underinflated tire is going to be running hotter than the properly inflated tire.

    Not even just the tire inflation. But tire make too. Im still running a bunch of random tire styles from when getting ANY tire was hard and the natural attrition meaning occasionally i have 2 diffrent brands or patterns on one hub. Even when i shoot my hubs and tires with my laser at the end of the day the diffrent style tires will be as much as 30 degrees diffrent from each other.

    Right I agree. Well the scheme they pulling is he rides alongside, shoots your tires and if he doesn’t like what he sees, pulls you over and gets out the portables.

    Also @Arctic_fox idk when you were at Ripple Glass last, or the next time you’re goin there but it’s jacked up. They are tearing up 17th street and it’s one skinny lane all the way up thru there. Makes a fun place even funner! Lol ok I think I’m done tagging you in #### now.

    Lol dont worry about it. And yea i was there a couple weeks ago. I literally cant make that turn to the left due to how long i am and they had to move the steel plates so i could even with me jumping the curb on the side. Im just too long to safely go there. Then getting out is an absolute no go. Ripple had to let me out the back gate so ima need to put my foot down on going back any time soon especially if its even worse now

    So the Mack has officially been out of commission for a month now, with no real hope of figuring things out anytime soon, still praying for a miracle. Mack corporate, to the best of my knowledge, is now involved basically logged in to the brains of the truck trying to trouble shoot these issues with the dealer.

    Here’s the crap part for me, I’m sure most of you can tell by the pictures I post, I keep my truck clean, I keep my interior immaculate at all times, even if the outside is a bit off. I’ve basically been encouraged to move over to the Volvo because there’s no signs of hope in getting the mack back anytime soon. The struggle I’m facing is the Volvo is simply nowhere’s near what im getting out of, it’s a bit wore out, the inside isn’t the greatest, and for what it’s worth it doesn’t offer near the amenities or storage as the mack. My anthem is set up with a microwave, tv with the epicvue satellite system, much bigger fridge and storage for days.

    How would y’all feel about having to make that decision to move trucks? Currently there’s no discussion on new equipment coming in. I’m not upset with anyone in this situation, but albeit the POS that truck has been for all these years, I’ve made it my own and taken really good care of it, it’s a heck of a step back to run this Volvo and honestly has me contemplating if I even want to stick with the long dump moving forward or just do something different with the company where the focus on the truck isn’t as important as it is now given the time I spend in it.

    Honestly, id say consider the job, the pay, how much it really pisses you off ect. Talk to management on if you get dibs on a new or better truck and so on.

    Its going ti come down to if the trouble is worth the wait or not.
