How many times have you drive all day, stop for fuel, give the tires a kick, and found a flat inner tandem? Heck I would have driven to the next stop before I even called it in. It's a lot quicker to get a tire repaired at a shop instead of some dropyard. Did you ever hear of redundancy?

If you have learned anything from this thread or my posts on it....take this lesson. That guymakes tsuff hard on himself by dot doing things the way they need to be done, Barr Nunn maintenance department are some of the most helpful people I have run across since i have been out here. Any problem I have had has been resolved very quickly with no second guessing or arguing. I personaly would not have been to comfortable with that flat with 44k either depending on how far the truck stop was,but that fact aside, they will send road service and dont mkae the driver pay for stuff like that.

The only point I was making is that you can drive a couple hundred miles and not even know an inner tandem is flat. It's no big deal to drive a few miles and get it fixed at a truckstop.

What I wanna know is how can anyone work for a company that will pay your family $5000 if you die? That makes me tend to believe landmine. If a company cares so little about its drivers to give you $5000 with no option to buy more, that tells me the company could care less about its drivers. I'd also like to know from jagerbomber where he keeps his creeper so he can inspect his equipment. If i get a ticket for a chaffed airline in no way am I paying the fine. My name aint on the title of the equipment and its the companys responsibility to inspect there equipment on a regular basis. I'm curious now, so Ill be talking to some barr nunn drivers and report back.
