Tell the store about the next job, not the last one
A construction fleet does not run the same work all year. A paving contract, a site preparation job, a long haul of fill: each one changes which machines are working, how hard, and on what ground. The tire needs change with it.
Most fleets tell their tire supplier what has already happened. A tire failed, a machine needs fitting, a truck is down. That is the reactive half of the relationship, and it is the expensive half.
The more useful conversation is about what is coming.
Which machines start work soon. A loader that has been parked for months and is about to go onto a site is worth checking before it starts, not after.
What the ground will be. Rock, fill, dirt or pavement change which tires suit the job and how fast they wear.
How long the job runs. A short job may be finished on the current tires. A long one may justify fitting the right ones at the start.
A store that knows what is coming can have the sizes ready, plan fitting into the start of a job rather than the middle, and point out a tire that is unlikely to last the contract.
What gets agreed
Specifications by position and unit type. Scheduled work rather than reactive work. Terms and authorization settled once, which also decides how quickly a roadside call can go ahead. Records by unit, so cost per unit exists as a figure.
Behind the account sit OTR services for equipment, retreading, balancing, and all nine Purcell tire categories. Alignment and vehicle repair are not offered at this store.
What to bring
The unit list with sizes and positions. The jobs coming up and roughly when. What has been failing. Who authorizes work, and how you want it billed.
