The importance of a TPMS Tire Pressure Monitoring System

The lesson is check your tires before each trip! You broke your own rule!
TPMS are beneficial, but the old fashion way works as well!

"I told myself. I'll religiously check the pressure prior to every trip and that's good enough"
Did you actually check prior to leaving? A simple kick would suffice.
I had one of my dually tires go flat. I could feel the squirm from the drivers seat. I made it to my destination OK.
