The following two quotes were in a news article in June 2009.
“Worst Economy in a Generation,” Says Economist: Trucking especially hard hit, not likely to lead recovery
"This is the worst economy in a generation," Robert Costello told the Los Angeles Transportation Club on Tuesday.
There is no doubt that the trucking industry is having a tough time and it may be a long while until conditions improve. All the more reason to take a hard look at retreads for your fleet, whether you are an owner/operator with a fleet of one truck or you are in charge of a fleet of 1,000+ trucks.
Regardless of whether you use the most expensive major brand new tires or a lesser brand, retreads can still probably cut your tire costs by 50% or more. This is serious money in these tough times.
If you already use retreads and most large fleets do, including Fed Ex, UPS, the U.S. Postal Service, to name a few you know how much money retreads are contributing to your bottom line.
But what about those truckers who shy away from retreads? If you fall into this category it’s time to take another look at your reasons for not using retreads.
If you had a bad experience years ago and swore off of ever using retreads again, please remember that times change, and this is especially true for the retread industry.
Thanks to new technology, including modern, sophisticated non-destructive testing machinery, improved low rolling resistance tread designs, advances in rubber chemistry, retreads offer the same safety, performance and handling characteristics as the best new tires, but at a far lower price.
Don’t take our word for it. Visit a retread plant in your area and see for yourself the care that goes into today’s top quality retreads. Tires are one of the highest costs of operating any fleet. Don’t you owe it to yourself to get the most for your tire dollar?
