Tires
Most of the trucks are carrying loads and that is making your vehicle heavier than average. Because of that, chances of lower air pressure in tires and consequently generated heat, are getting increased.
All this will result in two unwanted outcomes:
- tires will age faster because of heat
- low tire pressure will affect stability on the road.
So, how should manage all this?
Checking tire pressure frequently, like every week, seems like an obvious answer. However, to save your tires (and yourself), raise the tire pressure slightly over the written recommendation.
Another thing important about tires, is making the even wear. You will achieve this by rotating tires every couple of thousands miles. This way, you’ll also make mechanics work more efficient, since he will be able to spot abnormalities much easier.
Engine Fluids and Coolants
You have noticed by now, that a truck driver is checking everything more often than average car driver. Engine fluids and coolants are no exception to that, especially the ones delivering around the town.
