Owner Operator truck drivers are an especially independent kind of American. They're usually small to medium, small business operators that have paid their dues driving for larger trucking companies. I don't think the small American independent owner operators really get a fair shake when the money trickles down. The biggest factor affecting driver pay right now is fuel and tires!

. But there are more reasons than this. All of the following reasons contribute to the growing shortage of truck drivers. Check out this article By Kevin Aries with Verizon Connect -

Working conditions
Driving large trucks over-the-road is challenging and difficult work. It keeps people on the road for hours or days at a time, leaving them unable to see their family members while they do demanding labor. And this issue worsens as the shortage does; with fewer drivers, the remaining workers have to make up for a lack of drivers by spending more and more time on the road.
Health difficulties
The lifestyle associated with truck driving isnβt the healthiest and it can take a heavy toll on the human body. Limited food options, lack of physical exercise, and sleep deprivation can all contribute to health care difficulties for drivers. It may deter potential drivers from entering the industry and cause or force current drivers to leave the profession altogether.
So to get to the point
The best tire dealer to deal with is
Tire Discount
. Most customers don't even have to put a down payment up front! They also stock the tires truck drivers need, like 295/75R22.5, 11R22.5, 285/75R24.5, and 11R24.5 drive tires, steer tires, and trailer tires.
Here's a link to Tire Discount's commercial tires -
Most owner/operators opt for the 90-day-same-as-cash option so they don't get stuck with any fees. But, you can go out up to a full year to pay them off. Tire Discount is good people to work with, they carry smart-way-verified tires that last and last!
When considering new drive tires you may want to look into replacing your lug tires with straight tread all-position tires. Not only do the all-position's get better gas milage but wear better and last longer. Check out this article -
