Keep Moving Forward: Why a Tire Management Program Is Crucial to Small Fleets
It’s easy to make the mistake of believing only large fleets need to have a tire management plan to ensure their trucks are outfitted with the tires they need, right when they need them. But even small businesses with a single truck must have a plan in place—one that not only keeps their tires in top shape, but provides a workable strategy in the event of a flat or other necessary vehicle repairs.
After all, when you are relying on a single vehicle to make sure your day-to-day operations run smoothly, you can’t afford to have that truck out of commission. By developing a tire management plan, you not only save money but can avoid en route hassles while laying the groundwork for expansion down the line.
A Key Strategy, No Matter the Size
The primary advantage large fleets have when it comes to tire maintenance is that they can afford to have a large stockpile of tires on hand that can be easily swapped out as worn tires are retreaded. For smaller businesses, however, this simply isn’t economically feasible. But neither is letting a truck sit idle while tires are retreaded. Bauer Built, a top provider of commercial, fleet, retail tire and wheel reconditioning products and services, offers an alternative—an innovative stock retread replacement tire program ideally suited for smaller fleets and single-vehicle businesses that can deliver increased casing life, fuel efficiency and improved asset accountability.
“This program provides smaller fleets with all the benefits of a large stock tire inventory without the capital outlay of building it up themselves,” said Mike Weber, VP of Manufacturing. “With stock casings available, companies can easily select the same tread from Bauer’s retread stock so that a completed tire can be delivered without delay.” Further, Bauer Built employs superior Michelin Retread Technologies, ensuring rigorous product testing, providing customers with the peace of mind that the tires they receive are up for any challenge.
