Bridgestone Bandag Re-Launches US Fleet Solutions Website

The trucktires.com website operated by Bridgestone Bandag Tire Solutions (BBTS) in the US is being re-launched, and in addition to providing solutions and advice to help fleet customers increase tyre life and increase cost per mile the site also serves as a portal to the local Bridgestone, Bandag, Firestone and Dayton websites. BBTS comments that, via this portal, visitors will be able to find precisely the right tyre and retread products, locate the nearest dealer and access emergency road service.

“No two fleets are absolutely identical. That’s why BBTS offers an extensive list of programs, services and products that can be used to help fleets customise solutions that are right for their business. One customer may want information on tyre maintenance, the next may have tyre operating costs that are out of line – each fleet may require a unique solution,” said Bill Block, manager, Branding & Advertising, BBTS. “Trucktires.com is a portal to these resources, offering information and guidance for BBTS dealers and fleets of all sizes.

“The ‘Toolbox’ page is structured to help fleets keep their businesses running smoothly, offering tools and services for fleet management, buying programs, tyre performance analysis, training and education – as well as useful tips for reducing tyre and maintenance costs,” Block continued. “For answers to specific tyre problems, BBTS customers can e-mail a question to the ‘Tire Doctor’ who will reply with a personalised response.”

At the site fleet customers can also check load/inflation tables, watch tyre care videos and link to trucking industry and government websites.
