Air your tires only at a truckstop that has either/or a mechanical bay or tire shop onsite. These usually have the same air supply as the fuel islands and since they use the air for impacts and other tools are maintained better. Otherwise, use your onboard air system of your truck. It is filtered and goes water proof (at least supposed to be if maintained)
Hey, thanks. I hate that! It's like these places that have angled air nozzles that don't allow you to reach the inside tires! Clueless!
The TA often has no air. I've got a hose that I can hook to my brakeline but it's erratic over 100psi. Sometimes, the tire pressure will actually fall if I'm pumping over 100 psi. I like to run 105 but to get that after driving a bit, I might have to pump 110 or 112 psi
