I carry a spare on everything I own, however none of the trucks at work carry a spare tire. We have mechanics on call and a 24 hour tire service if needed. My commuter has a compact spare and it has never been on the ground. I commute 60 miles a day and I am expected to be there for my shift. If one of my trucks at work has an issue the drivers get paid to wait for help. I maintain over 100 trucks at my service center and that is a lot of money saved by not having 100+ tires never being used. Fleets with good mechanic support rarely carry spare tires.
