It happens, on commercials.  specially the big ones.

new ideas include those yellow pointers to do visual wheel nut checks -
the
old technique of putting the wheelbrace on them and going around jumping
on
it was prone to cause more problems than it solved...  They don't loosen
often if properly tight to start with, and the pointers show it instantly
with a quick glance.

sheared hubs and broken wheels are another problem, and almost impossible
to
spot in a pre-journey check anyway.
