Sometimes U Do Know!
Topic 27234 | Page 1
Way to go, Donna! You know what's up. That truck is your responsibility to make sure it's safe to drive. That's a great example of doing what you need to do to get things done sometimes.
Maybe he is just a jerk or incompetent.
So yesterday I had a piece of metal in my rear drive tire. Took it ta guy pulled the piece out, it was a piece of race barren from a brake. He assured me it wasn’t deep into tire. Took my ten, this morning tire sensor going off. So I mix some shampoo and water and put on hole sure enough bubble, bubble. I let RA know I’m getting ta to look at again. Tech comes out sprays water on it , goes back emails prime it isn’t leaking. I go in, ask for shop supervisor I said please come out here and I will show u this tire is leaking. Now everyone comes out to see this tire. Poured my bubbles on it bubble, bubble. Guy said yep she’s leaking! Okay, now y’all let prime know you’re wrong and I need this fixed. Few minutes Gary, in RA calls me, he like what’s going on there? Nothing, tire is leaking near sidewall so I need a new tire so I can get to my 90. Women can drive semi; however still aren’t respected in mechanics shops!
Tell him to hire you at twice your current salary and to fire the idiot who said you don't have a leak
TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

$1100 ? Was it gold plated???
It was a Michelin, no gold plating . I don’t know much about tire prices but that what she quoted to Prime and they approved.

Yeah that's a pretty good price for a Michelin steer tire.
No was rear drive tire. We run singles.
That's a good price for a new Michelin super single mounted and installed.
