Let’s Talk About Flat Tires and Air Pressure Issues

Flat Tires

We’re going to talk about flat tires and air pressure issues, but first a quick recap from yesterday.

How We Got Here

After making the delivery in Loveland, Colorado yesterday afternoon, we headed east about a hundred miles to Akron for our next load.

We drove another 88 miles or so south to the Flying J Travel Center in Limon to shut down for the night.

The trailer we hooked in Akron has a couple of problems that will have to be resolved before we continue our journey towards Arizona. The main issue is a flat tire!

Once we get back on the road, you’re going to see some awesome Colorado prairie scenery, so get ready to enjoy that.
