Ok as a Trooper I only messed with a few trucks. One was a van that blew a steer and crossed six lanes on the interstate and missed me head on by a hair. First I checked my underwear then was amazed nobody was hit at all. Well I wasn't happy esp. when he got out cutting up and I saw his other steer. I shut him down and called a wrecker.

Pedigreed NO YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE TO THE NEAREST SAFE PLACE AND HAVE IT REPAIRD.. You must pull over and stop until it is repaired at the nearest safe place to stop,, -

I was stepping south on 285 when I cooked a tire. BAM, left rear outside blew off and took the mudflap with it. I got the biggest monkey wrench I had and used to to bend the mangle mudflap bracket off of the other tire. I continued south on 285 and even crossed the scale. ScaleMaster asked if I was stopping in Roswell. I told him I was. He let me go.
Popped a tire on a Sunday, between Dallas and Houston on 45. No shops available. Limped her all the way to Houston. Even had a black and white slow down to look at me. I waved at him and he kept going.
I have never pulled on the side of a highway to get a flat fixed unless it was a steer.
What is your definition of limping?
45-50 mph, right lane with hazards on. Low speed, even heavy, won't cook the remaining dual.Nitemare13 and Mr.X Thank this. -
