He and I didn't mesh well either.
That sounds like road debris for those two tires at the same time and the same side of your trailer.
Best of luck for your search!
Best of luck. Kudos for you sticking it out. You really roughed it out through a lot of adversity.
Definitely please stick around the community and post.
Also talked with a TMC driver doing boats on a lowboy the other night on the cb for a while. Might be something for you to look into, it's a dedicated account, they are looking for experienced skateboarders.
Whatever is next for you, whish you well
TwoSides11, congratulations from me!
You did a really great job, sticking with your first trucking job, under some difficult circumstances. That is going to serve you well in trucking. I don't blame you at all for moving on. I could never work with Shawn. He's a real PITA, but he's got such strong connections at Knight that he seems to get a pass for being a jerk to his drivers. I've heard too many similar complaints to yours to doubt the veracity of your concerns.
Carry on brother, and keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks Pack. Yes Shawn is my DM. I remember when I first started and drivers were telling me bad things about him. I ignored them because I thought they were disgruntled drivers but now I see the truth.
I have no idea how the tires blew. Maybe I ran something over in the street?? I was on US-30 in Indiana carrying 40k. I heard two consecutive pops. The second being louder than the first
