Michelin, PTP Sign Service Agreement

Because of a marketing agreement signed between Michelin and Professional Transportation Partners, 180 travel plazas, truck stops and shop facilities will officially be included in Michelin’s “wherever you go” revolution effective Sept. 1. The locations will offer Michelin products and services, which have seen unprecedented growth due to market demand for Michelin’s X One wide single truck tires, the tiremaker said.

“We have been doing great business for years with many individual PTP locations,” said Guy Pekle, vice president of sales for Michelin Americas Truck Tires. “This agreement allows us to translate the success that we have built with individual truck stops to the entire PTP network across the continent. PTP has developed a standard for service to the trucking community that we admire, and we are confident that this joint marketing agreement is going to benefit their member truck stops as well as our joint fleet customers.” (Tire Review/Akron)
