ONE thing is consistent when it comes to tire maintenance: Tire inflation has been-and always will be-a top concern for fleets. "It's been talked about for as long as I've been around commercial tires, and that's close to 40 years," said Jason Miller, Cooper Tire's national fleet channel sales manager. "It's always top of mind since inflation pressure not only impacts miles to removal and the safety of the truck and driver, it also affects fuel economy and retreadability. But keeping consistent inflation levels seems to be a moving target. When I've done yard checks with large fleets, I've seen the good and the bad. And, likewise with drivers. They have a huge impact since they're supposed to check tires daily-with a gauge, not a thumper. |
