Independent here. Park in a lot with other Independents and Company Drivers for other Independents. Pretty much have the nicest cleanest newest rig here. But l am friendly with everyone, wave etc. Just returned from Sunday and Monday off. Last week found a huge M10 bolt near the edge of my RR outside trailer tandem. Pulled it out and plugged with my very nice ARP Off Road vehicle repair kit. I run TPMS and it was not losing any air. Didn't remember seeing it the previous trip home.

Anyway returned today and saw this below. Last week l noticed some of the damage like one lug cut into but don't remember hitting anything in the road. I had ran 62-65 mph back from FL Saturday to save fuel best l could. Tire psi was good the whole way. Did not run over anything. Had front wheel alignment performed about 10k ago. The tech checked rears with his big pole with the two points that sit in the hub intentions said the rears were wearing perfectly.

So l am doing my pretrip safety inspection today and see this. It was only one lug damaged last week. Now it is much more damage. Any of you have any opinions? Does this look like someone with a screwdriver or small blade? Thanks!

Looks like road damage, not intentional damage.

Really some of the damage to the tread blocks on that tire look exactly like what happens when you run over steel banding laying edge up on the ground.

After all these years, my trailer frame got in to my truck frame few weeks ago. Actually bent the upper flange upward on the corner.

Your tire is not a smooth cut, so phase out a knife. That is a rip or tear, could have been from an object in a gravel area even.

Found this 10mm wrench in the trailer tire of a 2018 MAC I had borrowed. It went in box end first….

Had that happen to a drive tire here. Probably forgot the wrench on the ground

I've found so many nails in trailer tires from ####tards sweeping their trailer out in front of the dock. That pisses me off like no other. Now before I back in I walk back and take a close look
