    Angry Low tire pressure? Not a problem.......

    Maybe we're a bit behind the rest of y'all here in Indiana...............

    But this was a first for me. Don't have three quarters to inflate your tires?
    Not an issue. Visa and Mastercard proudly accepted!

    I asked the cashier if air was free as a paying fuel customer. Response: No, sorry we just rent the machine. I felt better.

    I haven't seen one take credit cards before, but I am so sick of all of the pay air pumps I can scream. Only 2 stations here in town still have free air.
    Finding the right trucking company is like finding the right person to marry. I really comes down to finding one whose BS you can put up with and who can put up wih yours.

    I see folks all the time getting air at convenient stores. I guess they don't know that the Flyin hook has free air.

    Destroy the cities...
    and they will rebuild them.
    Destroy the farms...
    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...
    and grass will grow in the executive offices.

    The bill has come due.

    In CA it's against the law to charge for air if your a customer that bought something. I have a copy of the actual law. I used it many times to show gas station workers and they gave me free air. This was in my car, not truck. Some of the gas stations in my area have the law printed on the machine too.

    Do you need a separate glad hand to use the truck air or can you use the glad hand from one of the other air lines?

    Bought one of those years ago for about $16.00 in Canada and I use it every week. Wrote it off my taxes as a business expense also

    You just put the glad hand from the air hose onto the emergency glad hand from your truck and push in the trailer air button and poof!
