Love’s Travel Stops “TirePass” Now Widely Available
September 18, 2015 3:02 pm CommentHave you heard of Love’s Travel Stops’ full-service tire inflation system? Check it out.
Professional drivers across the country now have access to technology that detects potential tire- and wheel-related problems before they happen. The system-wide rollout of TirePass, Love’s Travel Stops full-service tire inflation system, is complete. Installations began earlier this year, and now the system is available at more than 200 locations. Pretty awesome!
“TirePass is a solution Love’s provides to save our customers on their cost per mile,” said Dan Jensen, director of tire sales and service for Love’s. “Under inflated tires and uneven tread wear can decrease fuel efficiency and lead to dangerous situations. Customers have been pleased with how fast our trained technicians can perform this critical piece of preventative maintenance and we’re happy to offer it to more drivers.”
Most locations with Love’s Truck Tire Care centers are equipped with TirePass and new locations with tire care facilities will begin receiving TirePass.
TirePass can extend the life of a tire by automatically inflating tires to the desired pressure. While a driver fuels, a technician hooks up truck and/or trailer tires to the automatic inflators stationed around the vehicle in the designated TirePass fueling lane. Tires are inflated to the desired pressure if necessary, and tread depth and pressure are measured and recorded. The use of Flow-Through valve caps maximizes drivers’ experience.
Fleet managers can receive immediate notification if a major problem is detected, giving them real time visibility of their units. A report on all assessments performed throughout the month give fleets a way to analyze the life of their units’ tires. Drivers also receive immediate reports showing the status of their tires.
