I haven't gotten mine yet but from what I've heard these are good heavy duty high pressure gauges from the tire retread bureau worth about $20 not your cheesy 99 cent one that maxes out at 40psi and breaks after 3 tests. Just call 1-888-473-8732 if nobody answers leave your name, address and phone number and speak slowly and clearly.

 

Why? What do they want? There is usually a rope attached to something like this.

They are a non-profit organization (I think) who want to send you information about buying retreads which obviously doesn't really apply to any of us but they are giving out free gauges to truckers and non-truckers alike. They were very specific to mention that they don't give out peoples info.


They have a guy on the Sirius satellite trucking network who is the same person on the answering machine when you call that number. Their website is:

Thanks for the info.

 

I called today and got an actual person! He was very po;lite and said they'd send it right out. Do be aware that they'll ask you what radio show you heard it on, and if you're a company driver or owner-operator. I didn't have to lie... I'm a company driver!

Thanks for the heads up!

 

Guys,

I got 2 of these. They are VERY nice. I would suggest you all get one. They weren't kidding when they said it was no toy!

 

Ordered mine thanks

 

So what radio show do I tell them I heard it on? I want a free one!

 

You could say the open road cafe on sirius satellite radio ...

 

Sweet I called and they are gonna send it out. I had to lie and say I worked for Schneider because thats the first big trucking company that came to mind! Oh well, I need a tire gauge. Thanks guys

 

I ordered mine through a nice lady last week. I told her i was an owner and that i heard of the program through word of mouth, well type in this case. How long does it take to get these. I am looking forward to this since yall claim it is not a cheap gauge.

 

Sign me up. I just called and he said the packet would ship out in a couple of weeks because they are swamped with phone calls.

 

Just ordered mine. Said it would be a few weeks before it got here.

 

I just wondered if there was a brand name or "made in" sticker on em. If they're Milton gauges or the like, you're looking at a $15+ gauge!!!

 

It says bridgestone on them. They're heavy and go up to 150 PSI and have dual heads.
