Same as your car, only everything's heavier and you need a badass impact to get em off and on.

Takes 1 hr to inspect/rotate tires, check/adj brakes, lube, inspect for cracks and check lights.

I may avoid Cats in buses, but the 3406 is a legend, and almost anywhere that works on trucks knows them well.
