Was the first parade done?

Oops. Lots of legislative implications for both the owner and operator.

Beat me to it...

Near Guelph, what appears to be a CP, sounds like that tire was a winger from 11 FD.

Glad no one was hurt, that could have been really bad.

There's some stuff even a perfect first parade won't prevent.

Yea, been a few hot minutes but don't think checking lug nuts is a daily driver parade thing.

If the tire was mounted wrong, it's very possible the nuts would feel tight but would start to back off when rolling. It's why they are tightened in a cross pattern.

I'm not familiar with this truck or it's maintenance contract. Is changing tire warranty work at a dealership? If you have a flat, change your tire, are the RCEME required to do a retorque asap?

It might not be the fault of the driver and it's first parade.

As an aside, put up your hand if you religiously got out the tire iron and checked your lug nuts everytime you drove a military vehicle?
