    you know that fuel gauges actually have 5 letters on there to indicate how much you have...

    G = GREAT
    F = FULL
    E = EMPTY

    and then there are D and W. The distance between them is real close

    Very common to see them in Canada in the winter. B trains with at least 6 trailer axles are hard to keep track of. A frozen wheel end will grind the tire to nothing in a few hundred feet, make bad flat spots in less time than that. Simple solution to a potentially serious problem. Wish I had patented the idea...

    That makes sense. It wouldn't take a rookie long to curb a tire and tear it up.

    I watched a Nascar race last weekend and was wondering why they tape a stripe on their tires. I found out that is how the pit crew is suppose to grab the tire for an easy line up when changing tires.

    I don't think a truck shop is worried about speed changing tires, lol.
