TRIB Makes Poster Available Free

(Akron/Tire Review) Truck fleets and independent truckers can now receive a free copy of the Tire Retread Information Bureau’s “Don’t Thump ‘Em, Pump ‘Em” poster.

The poster promotes the use of tire gauges as a way to keep truck tyres properly maintained. The 17.5×23-inch poster is printed in full colour on heavy paper and is suitable for framing, TRIB said.

“We originally offered this poster a number of years ago and have had so many requests for copies since than that we decided to offer it again to truckers who are interested in doing the right thing for their tyres. And the right thing is to use a properly calibrated tyre gauge on a regular basis instead of a tyre thumper,” said Harvey Brodsky, managing director of TRIB. “Any trucker who thinks he can tell how much air is in a tyre by thumping it might as well thump the hood of his cab to determine if his engine needs oil,” Brodsky added.

A free copy of the TRIB poster can be ordered by calling 888-473-8732 (North America only) or by sending an email to: info@retread.org.
