sorry i know it wasnt funny but...your photo make me laugh w/ that
tread mark 'cross the grill

i gotta ask...how'd you get the truck driver to stop ?

as luck would have it
after i started breathing again i follwed him off the exit ramp and walked up to him as he was looking at the smoking carcass. and I said "hey man, your tire freaked up my truck"
he looked stupid and said prove it... I then called the law and they pretty much did
but it took months to get my repairs paid for
"all coast" was the trucking company

and yes i love the tread pattern on the grill

Sorry it has taken so long for me to reply. Still in Keller and work has not sent me my Laptop yet. Well got a my paperwork in from BFG and I had to go and get 2 estimates. Went to Serve King and Five Star Ford. Both of them were right at 2K to fix the fender. Hope to hear back from them soon. Robert sorry to see that happened to your truck. I would have been Pi**ed. Will post when I hear something else.

Glad to hear they are taking care of the damage My question is what is a Poject Supervisor?

Basically it is a Manager, but I am incharge of multi million dollar projects, that have to be completed on time and try to finish the job under budget. Have 8-10 that work for me and keep them on task.

Several years ago the wife and I were coming home one evening out on I30. I was slowly pulling past a black d##ge dully pulling a trailer when he blew a left rear tire.

BIG explosion with all kinds of shrapnel hitting the side of my truck as his whole rear fender denigrated.

I was P.O.'d.......... -mad -mad -mad

Reading this Post/Thread, I got to thinking: I've never had a Flat Tire..One go down on account of a puncture that is. They've all been, Tire Failure. Tread Separation. The reason I guess, why I'm so Anal about Tire Pressure checks. (wife sez)

With the exception of a Cooper that came un-done (at 0 early thirty, in a Driving Rain Storm, Outside Williams Arizona, with a 10K Lance camper on board and a car in tow @ 65, with the wife asleep, on the first day of a Vacation )on the outside left rear of my 91 DRW.. The others have all been, IMO: Not Enough Tire on To Much Trailer, from the Manufacturer.

Ever Since I went threw the Goodyear Marathon Trailer Tire Flail-Ex, My Standing Rule now is.. Anything I buy to Drive or Tow, that weighs over 6K, loaded or unloaded, WILL have 16" wheels and at least "E" rated Steel belted tires on it.

I am a stickler for tire pressure also. Bad part was that had the oil changed with full service 2 days before. They checked all the tires and put in air. Was standing right there watching them. Still waiting for BFG to reply after my estimates.

they probably have sticker shock, but i hope they set things right asap for ya
