I worked for the State of California, in their Highway Dept.
We had a fair sized Fleet of trucks.
We used a Tire Shop, that repairs & replaces tires on everything from trailers to pickup trucks & everything bigger, including Earth Moving Equipment.
Sometimes the employees would not check the setting on the Air Impact Guns.
The previous vehicle that had a repair may have been a semi truck & i would drive in with a 3/4 ton pickup, if the employee did not check the pressure setting, even if the guy was quick when releasing the trigger, he had already stretched the threads or sheard a stud right off.
That shop never accepted the blame, they just said that the Lugs were old & stressed.
Our Equipment Manager would cuss under his breath & have one of his mechanics replace the broken stud.
When there is only 1 place that works on Heavy Tires, it is not prudent to stop using that supplier
