    Repulled for Drug Test.
    Lost a good load for the cause of proving I’m not a druggie.

    dude, there's 1001 different answers to this question.
    My first take is that if the other one isn't jacked up like this one, it's just a bad tire.
    One way or the other, you're gonna need a new tire now.

    Like Opus said there's a lot of variables when the truck isn't in front of you. Does it travel straight with no wandering? Could be alignment, king pin tie rod ends can even make some weird stuff happen.

    That's certainly a possibility.

    Not saying I agree or disagree, just sayin',

    "It could be".

    Even scientists admit there is much they cannot explain. :cool:

    my point is, is they're not both jacked up, it's the tire.....alignment and whatnot will screw both.....

    The hospital in my town no longer does drug testing.
    No money in it, unless you’ve got Covid, they don’t want to see you.
    Had to drive an hour.
    This place is closed for lunch an hour.
    Then reopen but close at 2pm, the sign says.
    8-2.
    I bet this is the business to be in M-F 8-2, million bucks a year, watching someone pee in a cup.

    Alignment, bad bearing, inside tire under inflated are some of the things that come to my mind.

    Heard on the CB last night, while sitting at the base of Floyd Hill for 2 hours waiting for them to tow all the spun-out barefoot trucks out of the way :

    "I don't need chains, I've got 40k in the box"

    I spun all the way up, with chains.

    Based solely on the location of the sign. I would venture to guess, there are indeed several burial grounds with in the area. Probably not well marked, so building on top of one is highly likely. The area was home to a few bands/tribes. The religious settlers that arrived long after the small villages had been well established did not care for those people they found upon the land. These settlers did their best to remove these indigenous peoples.
    I would say that the ghosts are quite antagonistic.
