An account where the stock is
Most fleet accounts connect a customer to a store. This one connects a customer to a store that shares its site with the distribution location holding all nine Purcell tire categories for the state.
For a fleet in the Mat-Su valley or running between here and Anchorage, that shortens the distance between deciding what you need and having it. Availability questions get answered on the spot rather than referred elsewhere.
What an account covers
Agreed specifications by position and vehicle type, so the same tire goes on each time. Scheduled work instead of reactive work. Terms settled once. Records, so tire spend is a number rather than an impression.
The services it draws on here: 24-hour roadside assistance, heavy-duty truck alignment, car and light truck alignment and tire and wheel balancing.
Mixed yards are the common case here
Construction and utility operations in this part of the state rarely run one kind of vehicle. There are trucks, trailers, pickups, and often a forklift or a yard machine.
This store carries eight tire categories including industrial tires, which neither Anchorage nor Fairbanks stocks. For a business with a forklift as well as a fleet, that puts both on one account at one address.
What to bring to the first conversation
The unit list by type with sizes and positions, including the yard equipment. Where the vehicles work. What has been failing. How you want to be billed, and who authorizes work when a unit stops at night.
What is not available in Alaska
No location in the state offers retreading, wheel refurbishing, OTR services or mobile service. Casings go to the Purcell plant in Portland, Oregon, and the store can explain how that works for your account.
