TRUCKING TIP | Glad Hands AIR HOSE for Tire Deflation Emergency | Inflate Truck Tires On Your Own

[@Sonsofthunder_51]

You have changed my whole outlook on being prepared and what it takes out there. Can you do one on the way you trip plan, and fuel stops? Thank you Kevin.

[@mariodominguez2963]

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Learn something new everyday

[@gertgeens9611]

Bit of good advice, buy ear protection and a extension to put air in to the tire so you d'ont stand to close.I have 30 years experience as a mechanic and it could happen that the tire explodes, especially with tires that have been driven for a long time with too low pressure.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Wow! Thanks! Great advice!! We appreciate it!

[@Avtomat_Killashnikov]

Had my wife stop by and get one of these Hoses for me, identical to what you're using, however not only was it missing a gladhand the side that you put on the fill valve is a screw on which is impossible to screw on for the outside tire because of the angle of the valve

[@BrandonTingle]

Wow that is definitely a great thing to have good know know!

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

It really is! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@devotime1]

Thanks for the info new to this training myself and watching videos. O/O OTR

[@joshuabeach9383]

Really love these helpful tips and tricks videos

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Awesome!!! Thanks for your positive feedback! We’re happy to make our channel a mix of helpful trucking info and Roads of America Ride with Us type Vlogs. :-)))

Use a locking tire valve chuck on your fill hose and you can stand well away from the tire.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Thanks!

[@danlee3454]

Heard you say that you pull the red knob, don't you push it in after hooking up tire air hose ?

[@jordanjarrell7454]

Yes. You push in the red knob which supplies air

[@NightWolf-vv5me]

I have the same hose. Pure garbage doesn't inflate.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

😳😳😳

[@dxr3733]

I just bought one, do I need thread sealant for the air hose? The glad hand adapter on the hose and the stem balance adapter, so both ends of the hose need to be screwed on after purchase. So do I buy thread sealant to put the hose together prior to using this?

[@familyadventures5314]

I’m a new driver, but definitely I’m going to buy one on my next truck stop. Wondering if it’s long enough to reach the trailer tires ? Thanks for the video, and be safe!

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Hey there! Congratulations!! On Werner trailers, the trailer tires are self-filling, which means they are automatically inflated via pressurized air from tractor. If you have trailers that are not self-inflating, the 50 ft hose will reach if tandems are all the way forward. Thanks for watching!!

[@brandonnorton9128]

Yes they’re long enough. Most loves, pilot, TA truck stops sale 50’ hoses

[@buszkenep]

Hi what if i have a tire pressure inflator central controllers box !??? Other than that why dont you have a gage on your inflator hose ???? Takes lots of time. To feel it this way ???

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Our trailers have self-inflating system, but not the tractors. You can buy a gauge for the inflator nozzle and put it together yourself. It does take a long time. It’s just for emergencies. Better at the truck stop.

[@jmaegm]

Now they sell the green hose godzilla it comes with the locking chuck that you push or pull in and it stays in without having to hold it. The chucks were cheap no good on the old style hoses. Everyone knew you had to replace them with a better one.

[@reyamancilla8425]

Bought one had air leaks and couldn't get it the inflat tires defective had to bring it back to Love's

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

We had to do that too. 😞🤔

[@lanam7497]

Thank You

[@buddyphillips9790]

Not to be "that guy" but I think 110psi for the drives is a touch too much. 100 on the drives, 110 for steers

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

You are right! Thank you!!

[@blacksheepent6798]

The one at Loves is cheap AF! They have you buy it knowing the chuck is a POS then wants to sell you a new chuck afterwards… if the first thing I bought was crap yea lemme get more crap

[@CrashRebootL3]

Amflo makes good one.

[@clintondarnell5318]

Just bought one on Amazon. Been sitting here for 5hrs waiting on roadside for a tire repair.Gonna give it a try. Don’t know why I waited so long

[@Hyper101ACTivity]

Bought two of these and had air leaks on both

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Yup. Bad quality. Kevin changed the end piece that connects to the valve on the tire. Now it works. But one shouldn’t have to do that. We saw other brands on Amazon.

[@ajgnos]

the fact that they fill them up inside a cage at the tire shop worries me doing this while leaning on the tire and my face nearby

[@thedale2112]

Yeah. You need a new one!

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Yup.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Actually Kevin just bought a new attachment and now it works great.

[@thedale2112]

@@TheJoyofTrucking Outstanding!

[@lifechanger7976]

@@TheJoyofTrucking I have the same problem, What is the attachment that you guys purchase to fix this problem?

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

@@lifechanger7976 You can find them in the auto parts section or auto parts store. Don’t know the ‘official’ name. Also, Kevin recommends getting the air gun attachment. Good for cleaning things.

[@hectorv.trucking]

Hello guys.. Question What is the speed limit on truck and it comes with refrigerator ? Thanks guys

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Hey Hector! Thanks for watching!! The truck is governed at 65mph. But on cruise control you can get it to 68mph (which comes in handy for passing Swift trucks ;-)). Werner does not provide fridges. We bought an inexpensive 12 v cooler that’s working quite well for us so far.

[@FuzzyFox2]

Same problem

[@MSword-si4dg]

I replaced the chuck
