How a mistake can cost $50,000
This is what a costly mistake looks like. Most people worry about a simple nail in their tire, but here, it's an entire boulder that's embedded in it. On this type of mining truck, the tires are enormous and extremely expensive, sometimes more expensive than a luxury car. Their structure is designed with several layers, including a steel belt essential to their strength. The problem is that if an object as massive as a boulder penetrates deeply enough to reach this area, the tire becomes unusable. It can no longer be repaired and must be completely replaced. In a fraction of a second, a simple lapse in attention can lead to a huge loss for the company. And in this kind of situation, it's not just a mistake… it's a hefty bill.
