"Did you add air to your tires once it got cold?"

Usually it's a no, or yes on the 10 tires on the tractor but no on the 20 on the trailers cause they don't own them.

I filled my tires to 105psi in Aug and in Oct I checked, all 30 tires were at 85psi!!

That's a lot off added rolling resistance.

I love it! It ain't mine! I wish I was the guy that had the patent on STUPID! I am given a trailer rent free, and I take care of it, air, grease and inspections... The company reimburses me every penny, and I keep up on it. I'm dumb on more than a few things, but common sense ain't one of them. The more money I save the company, ME, the better off I am. Take care of the equipment, it takes care of you. A no brainer in my book. ;-)
