Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

I agree with speedkills , I am retired but work part time for an excavating / landscaping company for some extra racing money back in the spring I was bringing a mini excavator back from a job on a tag trailer it was dark and around 8 in the evening I blew a trailer tire , I was on the interstate with cars and trucks going by at 65-75 mph I pulled over as far as I could but the berm had a big drop , I called my boss and he said to unload the machine, I wasn't comfortable doing it so he sent his brother with another truck / trailer and he did the unload and load ( he's a more experienced operator ) luckily when I chained the machine down I put the binders on the side not facing the highway , with the machine off I was able to limp back to the yard which was only a few miles away . It all went well but it was still frightening especially in the dark. About a month later I blew another trailer tire when I had a loader on the trailer luckily it was during the day and I was able to limp into a parking lot and a tire service came and did the repair . The tires had plenty of tread and weren't dry rotted.. the trailer got all new tires the next day
