We understand that no two fleets are the same and the issues that they face must be dealt with in different ways. This is why Dorsey Tire Company offers Custom Maintenance Management Programs for our customers. Using these programs, we dissect the entire maintenance program of a fleet to understand what areas are costing the fleet the most money. These programs can cover anything from Tire Management and Maintenance, Fleet Inspections, Trailer Readiness, and newest program which is CSA Compliance and Readiness Programs. Examples of some of these programs are listed below.
- Inflation and flat-tire checks using calibrated Air-Gauges
- Measurement of remaining tread depth
- Inspection of tires for damage such as flat spots, cuts, abrasion, tread lifts, mis-matched tires, unusual wear patterns...
- Wheel inspection to detect mis-aligned valve stems, spun wheels, missing valve caps, damaged wheels, leaking oil seals...
- Re-torque wheel nuts to correct torque
- Check for other obvious damage to vehicle that could cost downtime
- Verification of FHWA Stickers, IFTA Fuel Stickers, and County Tag Stickers
