Because they wanted to that why
You people that live in the south are so cute. Don’t know why the tires are painted. That’s adorable!
Someone ran out of paint trying to white wall those bad boys
State troopers shift
Checking 10hr on driversRolling verification not locked up or froze
Brakes or more precise parking. I can see if you use this for that.
To see if my tires moving instead of locked due to air brakes
Learned something new and makes sense now about the brake lock up.
Racing stripes😮
In snow country so you can see them moving after it's been parked in the winter
So they know which ones are full of cocain or money.
They are racing stripes and you will think you are the kingshit going down the boulevard.
In earthmoving it was to if operators were spinning the tires excessively from a distance 🫣
Thing Schneider does to all their trailers as a visual check to make sure you aren’t dragging the brakes, if not paint they’ll have like a yellow or some piece of plastic held on the lug nuts that stick out from the rim
If you cant feel if your tires are rolling or dragging then you have no business behind a wheel. You can literally feel it and its unmistakable.
No humans on board?
All you got to do is turn the steering wheel a bit and look in the mirror you can do that to either side to see if your wheels are turning without painting them it's like a driver training thing
To see if it's moving. Especially in icy winter time. I mark my tires with chalk when I pick a TRL in the winter season.
It's because you want to make sure the trailer tires are actually spinning. Your brakes not locked up and it's Schneider, not the orange ones
So you can tell if the wheels are turning
In the winter the brakes freeze to the brake drums, and sometimes you can't tell if the wheels are rolling or if you're just dragging them along.It’s so they can sniff the tires later. That’s a special type of paint. Kind of like those tooth picks uncle bob used to have.
Over a lot of years one mechanic that was in charge of a lot of trailers would just go out and mark bad tires. But over the years I've seen a lot of things that just don't make any sense😅
Demo derby
To determine if the trailer has been moved
It’s so you know if your wheels are locked up in the winter
So you can see if they're dragging or not
are you serious??? okay steering wheel holder, if you not joking… the idea is you can see it in your mirrors spinning… when its not spinning your sliding…now is it effective?? for some people yes…
They are zebra stripes; they confuse lions trying to bite the tires.
Honestly, it’s better to do the yellow straps, much more visible cost barely anything, and reusable after tire changes. And they do help with knowing if tires are moving or is brake is releasing all the way
For newbies that can’t tell if the brakes released
Helps us see if trailer brakes are frozen
To see if they are spinning in your mirror
It's an attention getter. Just like a swift Buford T. Justice kick
Hot rod white walls c’mon 😅
Lets the driver see if the brakes have released from the drum. Them chassis can sit for long periods and rust the lining to the drum.Cookie, hell with that! I want a chicken dinner! Cheap skate.🤪
Look in your mirrors and o
If you see the stripes moving your brakes aren't locked up. If you don't see the stripes moving your brakes are locked up. Yuul see the same thing on trucks out of North Dakota with the yellow plastic strip I like the yellow plastic strip better.So ypu can see in the mirrors if they have a flat, or if the brakes have ceased on
Been driving trucks of all kinds and all types of trailers I never did this nor did anyone I know😂
Crap container yard chassis that need maintenance but only fix the ones the brakes hang up on
Mirror check…….keep on rollin"👍
For frozen brakes
Y’all blaming brakes actually it’s U-turn creates that, go learn some geometry 😂
Its a fun road game so the people in passenger vehicles can count the revolutions to determine the speed of the tractor trailer without looking at their cluster for a speed check. They do the same thing with lines painted on drag racing tires, except they use a high speed camera on a hydraulic dolly attached to the track while projecting the footage on the jumbotron. 🤪😆🤣😆 Safe travels ✌🏻
They paint them to see if your brakes are working properly especially on older trailers
Also some companies paint the tires on the older trailers they are about to take out of service
Racing stripes
