๐๐ฅ 80,000 POUNDS. 18 WHEELS. AND EVERYTHING RIDES ON YOUR TIRES!
๐ YOUR DAILY DOSE OF TRUCKING SAFETY โ BROUGHT TO YOU BY CELLEX!
Today's lesson? YOUR TIRES โ AND WHY YOUR PRE-TRIP INSPECTION (PTI) COULD SAVE MORE THAN JUST YOUR DELIVERY!
Your engine keeps you moving. Your brakes help you stop. But your tires? They're the only thing connecting your truck, trailer, and cargo to the road!
๐ฅ Here's some trucking wisdom: The cheapest tire can become the most expensive mistake you'll ever make. And the most expensive inspection is the one you skipped!
โ ๏ธ DRIVERS, BEFORE YOU ROLL, CHECK THOSE TIRES!
โ
TREAD DEPTH: At least 4/32" on your tractor's front tires and 2/32" on other applicable tires under federal regulations.
โ
TIRE PRESSURE: Check with a proper gauge, preferably when tires are cold. Don't rely on a quick kick!
โ
SIDEWALLS: Look for cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and other visible damage.
โ
UNEVEN WEAR: It could indicate inflation, alignment, suspension, or other mechanical problems.
โ
DUAL TIRES: Check for proper spacing, trapped debris, and signs of one tire carrying more than its share.
โ
TRAILER TIRES: Don't forget them! A perfectly maintained tractor won't save you from violations caused by an unsafe trailer.
๐จ REMEMBER: Your PTI isn't just another box to check. Under 49 CFR ยง 392.7, drivers must be satisfied that their equipment is in safe operating condition before driving.
A few minutes spent inspecting your tires could help prevent a roadside breakdown, an out-of-service violation, or something far worse.
And if you think replacing a tire is expensive, try calculating the cost of a missed delivery, roadside service, damaged equipment, and lost revenue! ๐ธ
