Research elsewhere shows this number is a lot worse for tractor-

professional drivers and all?)

I wouldn't bet on that. The cobbler's children always have the worst
shoes.


You've never seen a trucker get out and walk around an 18 wheeler,
beating on the tires with a piece of steel rod? A low tire can kill
