    That was MY idea,,not really, but back in the 90s when I was hauling rail cans, with tube tires, many were under inflated. Many times it was the middle of the night in some God forsaken rail yard with no place to get air. What to do? Hey, I know, there's an air compressor right in front of me. I made my own "kit" with a 50ft hose and glad hand, problem solved. I did get the idea from another trucker, and a couple years later, noticed the kits at truck stops. Dang, missed out on that one.

    You are the captain of the ship. Doesn’t matter if you have been behind the wheel 30 days or 30 years.

    The thing that troubles me is why the travel agent is speaking to a 30 year driver as if he were a rookie. That’s unnatural. What’s the story?

    My guess is said “travel agent” is making a point of establishing himself as “the boss”.
