    I think that guy has a few cousins down this way, both male and female. They are usually found in the guard shacks for major warehouse operations. Some may have been promoted to shipping or receiving.

    That’s surprising. I had double coins on a step deck that I pulled for a year or so. I had bad luck with them.

    That seems to be the theme with tires. Some guys have bad luck with certainbrands other guys swear by those brands.. I havent been able to see the benefit for paying outrageous money for michelins when i get the same life out of them as cheaper brands. Bridgestones always get chewed up on my truck. The tread begins to chip away after awhile. The double coins on the trailer have been the best set so far. Put some continentals on the steers but only had them a couple weeks until i wrecked the truck

    I will always wonder how much of the tires success is based on a combination of : road (or lack there in) conditions, drivers habits, expectations, and maintenance habits.

    In my younger days I was constantly filled with wonder when people would put car tires on their pickups then wonder why they blow out when they put a real load in the back. That sense of wonder was "wonder what the frick they were thinking"

    Never been to a place with a guard shack, but am sure it's an unpleasant experience. Having seen shopping mall security guards, the one thing they all seem to have in common is a low IQ, bad attitude, and pants too small to contain their fat ###. They really should wear coveralls, or at least overalls, so nobody has to be subjected to their crack.
