A small fleet can still use the program
Retreading gets discussed as something for operations with dozens of units, and the arithmetic is usually presented in terms that only make sense at that scale.
A business with a handful of commercial vehicles can use it, and the thing that makes it work is batching across time rather than across a large fleet.
A small operation does not produce enough casings at once to make a shipment. What it can do is accumulate them: casings come off as they come off, get stored properly, and go out when there are enough to be worth moving. That might be a few months rather than a few weeks, and the program works the same way.
What it requires is somewhere sensible to keep them and the discipline to mark them, so that when the batch goes out nobody is guessing which casing came off what.
Ask the store what a sensible batch looks like for the volume you run. It is a short conversation and it is the one that determines whether the program is available to you.
Storing them in the meantime
Out of direct sun, which matters more here than almost anywhere. Ultraviolet exposure and heat work on a casing sitting against a fence just as they work on a tire in service.
Off bare ground, and marked with the unit, position and date when they come off.
Where the work happens
Purcell runs seven retread plants and Phoenix, Arizona is the nearest to Pahrump. This store collects casings and arranges transport both ways.
Pahrump is one of 54 Purcell locations collecting casings.
About this store
The Pahrump store carries all nine Purcell tire categories, is managed by Sam Knapp, and opens Saturday, 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Reno, Fernley, Elko and North Las Vegas also collect casings.
See the national retreading page for how the program works and for all 54 collecting locations.
