Question for INGO truckers

[lrdudley]

This evening on 465 during the daily southside slowdown, a tractor with a tri axel flat bed came up beside me. On each wheel of the trailer on the right side was a yellow metal strap affixed to one of the lug nuts that was bent to follow the contour of the rim and maybe 1/4 of the way up the sidewall of the tire. This strap way maybe 1 1/2" wide and painted yellow. I have no clue what their purpose is. If it makes any difference, the trailer had supper single tires.

It's an indicator to check for the brakes being frozen.

Saves on the tires being ruined in freezing weather.

Thank you, that make sense.

thread not involving rubbing whole chickens on anybody’s a**.

Some will paint a spot on the sidewall white for the same reason.

It's INGO. You know there's either going to be a pineapple on pizza discussion or a chickens on asses discussion!

 

[Indyhd]

Sometimes it's both.

Is someone rubbing pineapple on a chicken’s ***?

Someone ordered pizza to the ER tonight. It was a doc who forgot to change the address to his home and sent it in. It had pineapple on it

It's usually a piece of plastic. We use chalk to mark the sidewall so you can see if it's moving when you start pulling a trailer. Doesn't take long dragging a stationary wheel to ruin or blow a tire out.

Fascinating.......



Tell me more about the chickens.

I've never seen one of the ads, but I did see that on a sign outside the Domino's near me! I almost took a picture of it just to post on INGO.

Yeah that's what I meant. The roadside sign

It cracked me up the first time I saw it. But of course I never would have had occasion to see it if they actually still delivered.
