Fleet:

Auburn Concrete, Auburn, Maine. 45 trucks dispatched from 4 concrete plants.

Situation:

Auburn Concrete only has a 90-minute window to get from their plant to the construction site to pour concrete. They had run exclusively on new tires, but to grow their business, they needed a reliable, yet more cost-effective, tire program.

Solution:

Since working with Bandag, the fleet now averages three retreads per casing, saving them about 50% on their tire budget. Auburn Concrete also notes that Bandag's 7400 INSIGHTT Casing Analyzer with shearography is particularly vital in ensuring every casing used is suited for the demands of the job.

"Quite frankly, in our recent history, I can't recall us losing a load of concrete based on tire failure. They (our Bandag dealer) keep us on the cutting edge of tire technology and help us select the application-specific tires best suited for our fleet."
