The contest is being co-sponsored by ArvinMeritor.
“Based on the success of our ‘Tire Thumping Contest’ at recent trucking shows, and by popular demand, we will be challenging truckers to try their luck in telling how much air pressure a tire holds by thumping instead of using a tire gauge,” explained Harvey Brodsky, TRIB’s managing director.
“The inflated tire will be in TRIB booth, and all truckers are invited to participate. Anyone who comes within 5% of the actual air pressure in the tire will come away with a prize furnished by TRIB-member ArvinMeritor. There will be a grand prize for any trucker who hits the correct air pressure right on the money,” said Brodsky.
