TIA Has Tie-Up for Comdata Card

Looking to help members increase fleet and commercial sales, TIA has endorsed Comdata Corp.’s Comdata Maintenance Discount Network.

Through Comdata’s network, TIA members now have access to cardholders who use Comdata to pay for services such as tire repairs.

Comdata’s customer base includes North American light-duty and over-the-road fleets and owner-operators, customers of both commercial and retail tire markets.

“With thousands of Comdata cardholders seeking maintenance facilities to service their vehicles, the opportunity for TIA members is significant,” said TIA executive vice president Roy Littlefield. “Comdata offers our members the ability to be paid at the time of service, which eliminates the need for holding receivables and waiting up to 90 days for payment."

"Comdata has a long-standing commitment to providing a wide range of solutions that create value for our customers, says Randy Morgan, Comdata executive vice president of sales. "And automotive maintenance is a key part of that. We know our customers want to use the Comdata card for maintenance purchases, so developing a network of maintenance service providers is critical for us. That is why our relationship with TIA is such a valuable offering for our cardholders."

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has named Ryan Waldron as president of the company's Americas business unit, reporting to Chief Executive Officer and President Mark Stewart. He succeeds Steven R. McClellan, who retired on April 1.

"At Goodyear, our customers are at the center of everything we do, and in Ryan Waldron, we have a customer-centric, execution-focused business leader with a deep understanding of both the marketplace and all aspects of our business, as well as a proven track record of delivering results," Stewart said. "I am thrilled to announce him as president of Goodyear's Americas business and have enormous confidence that under his leadership, both the company and our customers will reach even greater levels of success."
