That is a dangerous road to go down !
I would try and get 100% proof first and then confront him in front of the boss all at the same time.
What’s happened then to make someone want to do that to you? Did he think he should have got the V8 instead of you?

So you get to the yard on a Monday morning to find someone has let the air out of one of your tyres, you know its not a puncture because this has been going on now for the past 3 or 4 weeks. Would you have a quiet word with your boss and explain the situation or would you go up to the person you think is reasonable for it and sort it between yourselves?
More to this story than the OP is letting on.

Is it just your wagon involved or is it happening to others ? Also what is there to gain out of doing this childish act ? And personally i’ll have a quiet word with the boss man.
I’d say so rob but I’m sure saamon wants to keep it on the down low.
Have a word with the chap & tell him if he don’t stop you’ll tell the gaffer.
Deflating a tyre stresses the metal carcass.
You can buy an airline that attaches to the red air line of your truck with a gauge for easy inflation, very handy, particularly in your situation! eBay I think or amazon.
If I heard one of my drivers was doing that to a colleague, I’d sack him on the spot!
What do you mean, “grass”?
Isn’t that a term used by furtive little criminals who hope that their rodent behaviour won’t be found out if they don’t report the behaviour of their fellow parasites?
Road transport is dangerous at the best of times. Don’t let ignorant selfish ■■■■■ endanger you or innocent members of the public!
I would report it to the police and ensure that there is a written record of your complaint. This may help protect you if the villain escalates to loosening wheel nuts.
I would report it, verbaly and in writing, to your manager, the chairman or owner of the company and the nominated Transport Manager on the O-licence
I might then go and mention it to the suspected perpetrator.

Wait… You would report deflated tyres to the police? Not-sure-if-serious-or-just-trolling. 
Maybe this person just doesnt like you ? it doesnt take much in this day and age, there are some realy nasty people walking about with hangups that could get out of hand if you grass them up, it mite not be just a tyre next time…just be carefull , maybe the other op has the solution park near the cctv.

some fifth wheel grease on the back of his door handle ■■
If I am reading this right?? Your truck tyre is flat on Monday morning??
I personally thought the boss would want to know why you have not left the yard, and if the tyre is being let down. I think the boss should know. That lorry is there to earn money, you drive it to earn money. Late for a job could at worse mean loss of contract, meaning less work, meaning you might not be needed!
I think you and the boss need to nip this one in the bud 
Report it.
It’s a pathetic, schoolboy joke except that it isn’t funny, isn’t safe and the person responsible is a complete ■■■■■
If the person has an issue with you this isn’t the way he or she should deal with it. Tell the gaffer and let him deal with the childish ■■■■■
Hard to confront someone unless you are 100% sure…

Yes, if I suspected that the safety of the vehicle that I was meant to drive had been intentionally sabotaged, I would!
You have to take this up with the management,an under inflated tyre will run hot and could burst who knows where the bits could end up.
Stray cat dipped in gloss through the front window will sort him out. Then mehow and purr at him Monday morning.

You THINK is responsible for it,so you don’t really know,but your on about going to the boss and grassing someone up who maybe/ maybe not responsible,have you thought he could loose his job over it if your boss believes you 
.

Not really a fan of grassing.
Diabolical untraceable revenge on the other hand.
Exxxcccceeeelllleeennt, my view entirely
Here’s my opinion for what it’s worth. IF you think you know who it is, next time you see him just mention in passing, that someone keeps letting your tyre down, and you’ve told the boss who’s looking into it, and will deal harshly with the culprit. If it’s the person you think it is, you’ve not accused, and it may give him a kick up the arse and make him stop. You don’t even need to tell the boss, he won’t know that though, and if he thinks his job’s on the line it may resolve the problem. At least then if it does stop you will know your suspicions were right, and if he goes round telling everyone you’re a grass, mummys boy or whatever, you can then tell everyone what he was doing.

3 wheeler and oatcake both have perfectly acceptable solutions to this problem.As I’m supposed to be a responsible person I would recommend 3 wheeler’s advice as the first step, hopefully it doesn’t work and you can then follow oatcake’s advice and achieve complete satisfaction…
Commendable NMM, I would just like to point out my revenge
would take the form of character assassination from which he
would never recover and not vehicle sabotage.I thought as much. Sabotaging a vehicle is a big no, fighting fire with fire is not always the best method.
As I found out when I failed my interview to join the Fire Brigade…
