Blown tire? Road service, plus new and used tires at the shop
A blown tire doesn't have to end the run. Road service comes to you; the shop on Highway 41 sells new and used semi tires. Tell dispatch which tire, and what size if you can read it.
Road call
Tell dispatch the position of the tire (steer, drive or trailer, and which side), the size on the sidewall if you can read it, and whether you're carrying a spare. That decides what goes on the service truck before it leaves.
