Like dean said, you need a compressor that has a max of 150psi. Your compressor may say 125 psi, but that is the max it will go. It likely drops down to 110 or lower before kicking back on to pump up to 125. You can make it pump the tire to 110psi, but you may have to sit there for an hour to make it happen. A 150psi compressor will kick back on in the 125 to 130 psi range. So you're always at least 15 psi more in the compressor than in the tire.
All the advice about going to a truck stop and all is fine, but it's just so much easier to get your own compressor to do this. I bought a smaller 150 psi compressor at Lowes a few months ago for just over $130 and it works fine.
