Write down what came off and why

Sites keep records of what they buy. Almost none keep records of what they removed, which is the half that would tell them something.

What is worth noting takes a minute per tire: which machine, which position, how long it was on, and why it came off. That last one matters most, and it needs a real answer rather than "worn out". Cut. Impact break. Sidewall damage. Heat. Run flat. Worn to the point of removal.

Within a year that list answers questions that are otherwise guesswork.

Are we losing tires to damage or to wear? Damage points at the haul road or the operators. Wear points at specification.

Is one machine worse than its twin? That is the operator, the route, or something mechanical on that machine.

Is one position consistently early? Something about how the machine is loaded or used.

Is our casing pass rate moving? Which tells you whether the operational habits are improving.

None of that requires a system. It requires a notebook and somebody filling it in at the change-out.

Repair before replacement

The national OTR services page sets out when an injury is repairable and why, on a tire of this value, repair is frequently the right answer.

It is also the entry worth recording most carefully at a change-out. A tire scrapped for damage and a tire that was never assessed look identical in a year's records, and only one of them tells you anything.

Questions

OTR questions, Mabelvale

What should we record at a change-out?

Machine, position, how long the tire was on, and why it came off. The reason is the valuable part, and it needs a real answer rather than "worn out".

What does that tell us?

Whether you are losing tires to damage or to wear, whether one machine or position is worse than the others, and whether your casing pass rate is moving.

Can a cut OTR tire be repaired?

Frequently, and at that cost it is worth establishing before replacing. The assessment is made with the tire in hand.

Do you come to the site?

Mobile service is not offered from this store. Springdale is the Arkansas location for it.
