Wheel-offs are some of the most dangerous situations on the road. This happens when a wheel from a truck or car comes loose and rolls down the road. Whether the wheel-off occurs on a 30 mph road or a 65 mph freeway, runaway wheels are absolutely terrifying<\/a> and always leads to incredibly unsafe and unpredictable situations. With the deadly risk that they pose, wheel-offs are a massive risk for any commercial trucking fleet.<\/p>\n
