Purchase Tires For Trucks
Topic 2674 | Page 1
Getting a tire account is about the best way to go. When we were O/O we had an account with Les Schwab. They gave us great prices, and we got to try some of their prototypes... So its an option....tho theres not the same tire shop in all 48...but some are bigger than others, and if you run regional , its easier still
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
Going to want low rolling resistance tires if your concerned about fuel emconomy And YOU Should be. Want the number under 110. The lower the better.

Hi Everyone:
New here and new to the trucking arena. Was wondering if there are any advice that should be considered when purchasing new tires for trucks? So we look at pricing and brand only? Are there any other aspects that should be considered? Are there any discount programs out there for truckers as it relates to tire purchases?
Thank you for your response in advance!
