Plan for the surge, not for the average
A farm's tire demand is not spread across the year. It is concentrated into a few weeks, during which everything runs at once and nothing can wait, and then it drops to almost nothing.
An account built on an annual average will be wrong in both directions. It will hold too little in the weeks that matter and too much the rest of the time, and the gap gets filled with emergency calls that cost more than the tires.
The version that works is built around the peak. What runs during it, which sizes, how many, and what the tolerance is for a machine being down. Those four answers let a store plan stock against your calendar rather than against a smoothed-out figure.
What that means in practice
Before the season. Walk the machines and flag anything marginal. Sizes identified in February get sourced calmly; the same sizes in August get sourced at whatever speed is possible.
During it. The store knows what you run and what you cannot be without, which turns a call into an action rather than a conversation.
After it. Casings go for retreading, alignment gets done on the hauling units while the tires still show what happened, and marginal tires are replaced on your schedule.
The whole yard on one account
Jonesboro runs seventeen services and carries all nine Purcell tire categories, which means the tractors, the grain trucks, the trailers, the pickups and the machines sit on one record.
It is also one of three Arkansas stores running mining fleet services, alongside Mabelvale and Springdale.
What to bring
The machine and vehicle list with sizes and positions. Your calendar, specifically when the peak falls. Which sizes would stop you. What has been failing. Who authorizes work, and how you want it billed and reported.
About this store
The Jonesboro store opens at 7:00 AM, earlier than any other Purcell location in Arkansas, and is managed by Tony Kuehnel.
