In 2011 and 2012 I co-owned a small trucking company called Code 3 Logistics, we had two trucks and did heavy haul and wide loads in the lower 48 one year. One truck was driven by the other owner and one by an employee. At 3am one morning the phone rings, I get out of bed and answer the call and its my employee saying he blew a trailer tire, what should he do. So I google earth his location to find the nearest truck stop / tire shop and its directly in front of him about a half mile, I ask if he can see the sign that is the same company as the credit card I gave him. He limps the truck up to the place and sends me a pic of the tires, he should have stopped for tires a few loads ago and I tell him to put all new tires on my trailer. Now I am up at 3am, his load is late, and I have a hole in the deck of my trailer because he didn't stop between loads to get new tires. He was a good guy, but dang, why are you not checking the tires!Here are the trucks, the White Volvo was a lease, so it didn't get stickered like the Kenworth.[ATTACH=full]2302[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]2303[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]2304[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
