A plant, not a store
Most pages about retreading describe a store that takes casings in. This one describes where they go.
The Cleveland plant is one of seven Purcell retread plants and the company's easternmost location. It retreads and repairs casings in eight categories: commercial truck, agricultural, OTR, industrial, light truck, passenger, trailer, and UTV and ATV. Tracks are not retreaded at any Purcell plant.
Nothing is sold here and no vehicles are serviced.
Which of your casings are worth sending
The question fleets ask is how many will come back, and the honest answer is that it depends almost entirely on how the tires were run rather than on the tires themselves.
A casing arrives in one of three states. Sound, and it retreads. Damaged but repairable, and it is repaired first. Structurally finished, and nothing can be done, which is the outcome worth preventing.
What puts a casing in the third category is a short list: a tire driven on with no air, a puncture nobody repaired, and months of running under-inflated so the heat worked through it where no one could see. None of those are about the brand on the sidewall.
Sending a batch rather than a trickle
For an operation of any size, casings are better sent in planned batches than as they arise.
A batch can be scheduled against the plant's workload, which is what determines turnaround. A trickle arrives whenever it arrives and gets placed whenever there is room. If you are working to a date, a seasonal changeover or a contract starting, say so through your store well before the casings move.
The customers this plant serves
Purcell has no service location in North or South Carolina. The casings worked on here come from the Purcell stores in Kentucky, Henderson, Owensboro, Paducah and Princeton, and from fleets further east for whom this is the nearest of the seven plants.
Arrangements are made through the store you deal with, which handles collection and return.
