Texas | We had to go to tire school at JB Hunt ( cant make this up )
I forgot the exact temp range tires drop , might been 8 degrees was 1 psi .
I also might be off on this , tires were at least #2 or 3 on company cost .
They were very serious about having tires checked by a calibrated gage ( we all checked them tire gage tuesday it was called .
We checked EVERY tire on all things that came in shop .
I do recall underimflation was the major cause of failure .
Bad part is a blown tire is going to sure wreck things around it .
Despite our efforts we still blew alot of tires .
We did have 600 trucks though .
This could be some food for thought - we had off site trucks and trailers , probally not checked .
I assume this is a grain trailer loaded to 80k
Just me , id keep them at max pressure . | |
