When it comes to checking haul truck tire pressure, keeping it simple is key. You’re about to start your shift, the truck has been parked, and you need trustworthy readings. No need for complicated systems or guesswork. What’s the best, most accurate method to measure the tire pressure on a haul truck?
 
Last winter I was just guessing at tire pressures and it was a mess. Now I use a good pressure gauge on cold tires check each one twice and write it down. It's quick, works every time, and I don't get any surprises when I'm working.
 
I keep it simple. I get my gauge, check each tire when they're cold, and write down what I see.
 
Checked the pressure when I was already working, and the numbers were way off.
Now, I check the tires when they're cold, use a strong gauge, and that's it.
I trust what the gauge tells me, not what I think it is
