Purcell Tire & Service in Jonesboro, AR
The Purcell store at 3218 South Caraway in Jonesboro runs seventeen services covering farm equipment, commercial trucks, off-highway machines and cars. It opens at 7:00 AM, the earliest start of the four Arkansas locations.
Northeast Arkansas, where the work starts early
Jonesboro covers the northeast corner of the state, which is farming country with freight running through it. The store's 7:00 AM opening fits that: a machine or a truck dropped at seven is a machine working by mid-morning rather than tomorrow.
Seventeen services under one roof is the other half. A farm here is not only a farm. It runs trucks, trailers and pickups, and the same account covers the tractor, the grain cart and the vehicle somebody drives home.

What this store does
Timing farm work
Tire work on farm equipment belongs between seasons. The machine is standing anyway, sizes are easier to get before everyone needs them, and casings sent for retreading are not holding anything up. The store would rather have that conversation in a quiet week than take the call mid-harvest.
Casings collected here are retreaded at a Purcell plant, the nearest being Potosi, Missouri. No retreading happens on site.
Running an account out of this store
A farm with a yard full of machines and a trucking operation are the same customer as far as the paperwork is concerned: several units, tires being consumed steadily, and nobody wanting to think about it each time.
Fleet services is what turns that into one arrangement. Agreed tire specifications so the same thing goes on every time, work scheduled around your season rather than around a failure, consistent terms, and records that can be read rather than guessed at.
There is no minimum number of units. The point at which it starts paying is usually the point at which you can no longer say from memory what is fitted to each machine.

Questions
Questions about the Jonesboro store
What are the hours?
Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the earliest opening of the Arkansas stores. 24-hour roadside assistance covers commercial units outside those hours.
Do you carry tractor and combine tires?
Yes. All nine Purcell tire categories are carried here, including agricultural tires and tracks. Call with the machine and the size from the sidewall.
Can I get my car and my truck done at the same store?
Yes. Jonesboro is a commercial and consumer location, so brakes, alignment, oil changes and A/C sit alongside the fleet and off-highway work.
Does Jonesboro offer mobile service?
No. Mobile service in Arkansas is offered at Springdale. Jonesboro offers roadside assistance for units that have stopped.
Can farm casings be retreaded?
Sound agricultural casings can be. Jonesboro collects them for the program and a Purcell plant does the work. Have a casing inspected before scrapping it; the tread wears out long before a good casing does.
