This is the first i've ever heard of something like this.....

My intuition tells me this is a classic case of a salesman, like a lot of people, are too afraid to say "I don't know"....so the fill the silent space with empty words....

and my intuition tells me that pstandiford's F-350 tires were rotated that way for some other reason... maybe convenience, maybe for some other reason such as wear pattern recommendations....and the mechanic, just like the salesman... instead of saying I don't know why we do it that way, he wanted to sound smarter so he filled the air with something that sounded better.... or maybe it was the guy that explained it to him and he was just parroting what he had been told....
Again, just my intuition.... I could be wrong
Some car tires are designed to rotate in one direction for best performance. "If" some truck tires are designed the same, it would require taking at least some of the tires off rim to rotate. I'm not sure if unidirectional truck tires exist or if they are commonly used.
