Keep Your Fleet on their Feet with Tire Management
Do you know the health of your fleet? As a manager of fleet services, the overall condition of your fleet is always at the forefront of your mind. But with so many vehicles and factors to oversee, it can be overwhelming. Fleet managers must keep track of oil, engines, body and trailer maintenance, and, of course, tires. Indeed, understanding the current condition and performance of tires can help you know when it’s time to replace your tires prior to an accident occurring. More so, among other benefits, regular tire maintenance pays off with longer tire life and improved gas mileage.
Tires are often the largest maintenance expense for truck fleets. But failing to keep them maintained can cost an organization far more than conscientious upkeep would. On a typical linehaul truck, the target mileage is 300,000 miles for drive tires, and 200,000 for steer and trailer tires. However, weather, load, road conditions, and other uncontrollable factors can greatly impact a tire’s projected longevity.
