    Some dash cams and cameras on the mirrors facing back would answer this question .

    Will save your driving record in an accident too when you can show the cop it wasn’t your fault .

    I agree with others. Doesn't look like sabotage to me. It looks like normal use to me. Just turning sharp in some of the shippers/receivers can tear a lug up. Especially if its concrete parking area and there is broken concrete & there is a dip. You tire will catch on the side of that broken concrete & tear a lug right off. It dont take but 1/4" or 1/2".
    And some of these roads we travel on .... sheesh, you can tear up an anvil driving on some of these roads. Been to Shreveport/Bossier City, Louisiana lately? I'm surprised most trucks make it through there much less having a complete tire after going out the other side.

    Seriously, it doesnt look like intentional damage. I just think its road use.

    Thanks you all yes that makes perfect sense. Only thing that got me going was it was the exposed part of the tread. I know it does happen. I'm sure someone here has some crazy stories about it. I heard about people at the company l started with were pulling fifth wheel handles or pins on container local guys. Horrible thing to do to a Coworker.

    Turning sharp over Rail Road tracks will chunk the tread blocks like that also.
