1 /5 Dragana AvramoviÄ: During the night, at a truck stop, my tire deflated because the valve broke. We were 0.3 miles away from them and decided to go there because it wasnât busy, and I was in a hurry for a delivery. The girl working there checked the issue, said it was just the valve that needed replacing, and assured me it would be done in 15 minutes so I could continue my trip.
She worked on the tire in front of the truck while we watched from inside. She attached the tire to the air hose to inflate it and went somewhere else (the air hose didnât have a PSI gauge). After 5 minutes, since she left the tire inflating unsupervised, the tire exploded (itâs worth noting that tires should never be left unattended during inflation, especially not for that long).
I got out of the truck to see what was going on, and the worker told me the tire was damaged, even though the original issue was just the valve. Long story short, they charged me $500 for a new trailer tire (you can see it in the photo), which burst due to the workerâs mistake. In the end, another worker and the boss said I should have gone to Loves or TA.
All in all, I came to get my tire inflated and the valve replaced, but I ended up missing my delivery and paying $500. If there were an option for zero stars, Iâd give them that.
