If you drive trucks and work in driver recruitment or if you are currently teamed up with a driving agency because you are seeking out driver jobs then you should know that a lot of continental data has shown that there has been a surge in the amount of tyre pressure issues that people are having. This could well be affecting those who work as industrial workers or even those who work in warehouse jobs. Data has shown that one out of every five trucks has some kind of issue with the operational pressure window. This statistic is based on a lot of the anonymised results that comes from tyre inspections and this helps to reinforce the need for operators to check their tyre pressure and to make sure that they are in fact ensuring that the rubber is lasting as long as it can.
Tyres that are over-inflated or tyres that seem to be under-inflated can really cause issues to the safety of the driver as well as those who are on the road. If you have tyres that are under-inflated then this means that they are more susceptible when it comes to damage from both potholes and rough terrain. If you run with not enough air in your tyres then this can mean that you end up with a lot of sidewall flexing and this can lead to you experiencing a huge blowout. At the end of the day, fuel efficiency can be impacted as well and this is the last thing that you want. It can mean that there is an issue with the rolling resistance of the tyre overall. If you have a tyre that is over inflated then this can also add a lot of issues to the equation as you may find that there is an issue with the tyre's grip.
