Tire Contest At the Upcoming Trucking Show!

I saw this in the Thomas Business Registry. Anyone who has dealt with tires knows they are a pain in the rear axle (have to keep it clean). So if you are going to the Mid America Truck Show check this contest out. The Tire Retread and Repair Information Bureau will offer daily drawings of 8 commercial tires.

If you are there anyway, it is worth a shot to find out more about it and enter. I personally have no vested interest with this organization so I am sincerely posting this so you do not miss an opportunity. I have placed the link below to the original post I saw it in as well as some information.

Hope you win!

Protect your greatest business investment: Your Cottrell Trailer

With the recent Minnesota Car Carrier fire we are reminded of one area that can be overlooked in autotransport care and maintenance: The tires. Based on an article by RSI Insurance Brokers, combustion around the tires can start with nothing more than non moving hot air coming from the brakers which are probably not working properly.While many Cottrell Trailers have automatic tire inflation devices in the trailer wheels, they are not offered in the cab wheels towards the front. There is no greater investment to a carhauler than a Cottrell Trailer and anything that can extend the life of the trailer is important. There are accidents that are unforseeable, but here are some strategies to mitigate risk with your Cottrell carhauler.

1-Check your Cottrell tires as often as you can which usually will be at stopovers on the road
2-See a certified Cottrell dealer for regular inspections of your brakes and tires
3-Before any trip make sure the tires are inflated to the exact standards recommended for your Cottrell Trailer

As simple as these may seem, there are autohaulers who push the limit. In a 25 ton carhauler trailer heat can build up quicker than you think under the stress of the loadM
