This is why you need a TPMS.
My TPMS notified me that I had a tire going low about 100 miles into a trip. Had I waited until my next fuel stop (which for me is about 250-300 miles) I suspect the tire would have been ruined with possible damage to the trailer.
I doubt anyone checks their tire pressures by what ever means more often than 100 miles.
In my case I was able to find a safe and shady place to put on my spare. Tire was repairable and was moved to the spare position.
