Isn't it a little late in the season for studded tires?

My radiator shit out on me with a load on and had my buddy unload me so I could get a tow to the dealership

You the logging guy i saw earlier? If so, that job looks like its a lot of fun for what it is.

[-]

Yes. It is fun, you have to have a screw loose in your head to enjoy it though, it’s fun until youre throwing 2 sets of tire chains on in deep snow in a blizzard to go sit on the loader for an hour+ lmao

Dang that sucks OP!!!

I came off hometime yesterday. Got to the yard to grab my tank to go get loaded. Get a call from dispatch that the shipper pushed the load to today. Fuck, alright. Gives me time to put stuff away and get a good night’s sleep.

Get started today and grab my tank to go to shipper. Stop in the outbound lane and get a call from dispatch. Yep, shipper pushed the load again. So dispatch pulls that bullshit off me and tells planning to get something better assigned. All they had was a pickup at this shipper that supposed to be already loaded. Bobtailed over, it ain’t lol. Dispatch lost their shit, called planning and the CSR to make sure this place fucking loads me tonight lol. Gonna collect lots of detention because these idiots can’t do their job properly. I was here before I went on hometime and it was a clusterfuck

I've had that happen before but it didn't actually puncture. Might wanna pull it and see if it's leaking. Day might be salvageable.

Lumpy-Macaron4512@reddit

Have the day off so mines great

Declan_Mulqueen@reddit

Pour some water, soapy preferably, or even spit, all over the screw. Maybe even wiggle it slightly- If no bubbles then pull it out and recheck. You should be good at that point.

[-]

AsphaltPirate74@reddit

That's what I'd try, once I'm parked near a truck shop first though.

[-]

leadpoem@reddit

Yep never pull a knife out of a person unless you know you can fix the bleeding.

NostradamusJones@reddit

Sooooo much better than the alternative, amazing catch driver.

We are in similar boats!

Im waiting on somebody to come change my flat steer tire that mysteriously lost all its air here at the consignee. Thank God I wasn't on the interstate.

[-]

OddEscape2295@reddit

Spray it with soapy water. If there are no bubbles, zip it out with a screw gun and throw it in the trash

Freightshaker000@reddit

That's for adjusting your toe in/out.

SOROKAMOKA@reddit

Years ago when I bought my brand new truck. 4 days later got a massive bolt in one of the drives, too thick to plug and had to buy a brand new tire. I still have that bolt in my office

[-]

unnamedunderwear@reddit

Maybe it's only in thread, try poking it a little

[-]

Silent-Room-4987@reddit (OP)

"You'll shoot your eye out" comes to mind

[-]

Gilgamesh2000000@reddit

Get a pliers even a screw driver. If you pull it out and no air is leaking, keep it moving it’s fine.

[-]

unnamedunderwear@reddit

I wouldn't pull it out with pliers, if it sits too deep screw will be a plug so they can limp to nearest tire shop

[-]

Gilgamesh2000000@reddit

Man stfu. I do this professionally. Keep holding your steering wheel, that’s what you’re good fi.

[-]

unnamedunderwear@reddit

I pulled out few screws this way, if ot's jiggly then it's not long enough to cause damage. Also just engage safety squint and you'll be fine

[-]

Comprehensive-Let232@reddit

My truck is in the shop. Gonna cost me 5k to fix. Now I gotta fly home

[-]

Silent-Room-4987@reddit (OP)

But on the plus side, you get to go home early. :)

[-]

Comprehensive-Let232@reddit

Well, there is that

Looks like it screwed up your day 🤭

anaca9279@reddit

Better you I pick up screws in my tires all the time

Elderado12443@reddit

For what it’s worth I’m Michelin commercial truck tire certified. Pull that bitch out. If it didn’t get to the steel cords you’re ok. If you feel metal scraping metal when you pull it out, replace it. It’s a steer, don’t chance it. If it’s just barely in the rubber go buy a lottery ticket.
