My day was going smoothly until I was about 40 miles east of Oklahoma City. My trailer tire exploded loudly as I was cruising east on I-40. A couple of cars hit the tread that I had unintentionally littered onto the Interstate. They pulled onto the exit ramp, near me, to inspect for damage. Since they left without saying anything, I assume everything was fine. I limped the truck to the next exit, where there is a Love's Travel Plaza. Our emergency maintenance department arranged for a mobile tire repair technician to meet me. He is here now & is replacing the offending tire as I write this. This incident will delay me by almost 3 hours, but the load won't be late.
