IT takes years to grow a bulk transportation fleet from the ground up. Tank truck companies must navigate economic downturns and a never-ending maze of regulations. And all the while the industry grows more competitive, and a stream of new safety and efficiency products continually promises to further enhance operations. It can feel overwhelming-so it makes sense to focus on the basics. No matter what class of tractor or type of tank trailer a carrier utilizes, tires are the thread that binds bulk transporters together on the nation's highways. Tires aren't the flashiest fleet equipment, but they're truly important. Just ask anyone stranded on the side of the road with a flat. Yet how much do fleet owners really know about the tires they purchase in high volumes and must maintain? When was the last time they were serviced? Are any currently leaking, waiting to surprise a driver on the road? |
