12 reasons to cooperate with TiDiCi

Many transport companies still choose truck tires supplier only by the price factor. They buy tires only from suppliers, who offer a better price. Such approach doesn’t take the most important factor into account: the tire needs a good service, furthermore its carcass needs to be recovered or sold in order to reduce the cost of a mile. In order to fulfill this condition there’s a number of thing to be done. TiDiCi offers its free help. There’s only one condition: acquire truck tires fro TiDiCi. Price is a matter to discuss and the cost may be reduced with a little help from us. Can you feel the difference between the words "price" and "cost"?

In order to lower costs you need to:

1. Define both positive and negative characteristics of your supplier. Possible lack of scheduled high quality service, no truck tires available when you need them, refusal to implement guarantee commitments, bad credit conditions – is a list of things that may become a serious obstacle for future cooperation, which can make transport business less profitable.

2. Choose roots and transportation types. For example there’s a big difference between Italian and German roads. German highways are good for both expensive and cheap tires. But Italian upland roads with their uphills and downhills demand only special high quality tire trucks. The rest doesn’t fit because the chance to have an accident becomes critical. Same goes for tread wear. If the trucks are used for regional transport, expensive truck tires may be not so necessary.

3. Consider the type of freight. Some companies transport light and some heavy cargo, some transport liquids or even dangerous freights. This should be taken into account when buying truck tires.

4. Consider the type of vehicle. Tires for trailers, tractors and buses are way too different. Even more different are tires for building purpose.

5. Truck tires and service expenses accounting for every single vehicle. Is it being done? You may even forget about the new tire you’ve bought yesterday. And what about its mileage? Same goes for carcass. Is it OK or has the driver told his mechanic that the tire had blown up?

6. Define the quality of technical service for vehicles. It’s really important to know who, how and by what means inspects pressure, truck tires in general, what’s being done with damages, how, where and be whom do they get repaired. One thing when Dalnoboy experts attend to it, and it’s totally different when people with doubtful reputation try to solve the problem.

7. Junk inspection. If there’s an old tire dump within a transport enterprise, we can find out the cause of main "tire sicknesses", which lead to premature failures of tires. The analysis makes it possible to know how to take care of truck tires and which ones fit these very vehicles best.

8. Pressure control. This issue is very important, for the pressure level in the most truck tires does not correspond to the norms. There’s no use of hoping for consciousness of all the drivers. So there has to be a person to check the pressure within every specific depot. But it doesn’t have to be an employee in the depot for this job! Dalnoboy network in evenly spread all over Ukraine. Air-gauges are available on every technical service Dalnoboy. They are being regularly checked for preciseness by comparing with the reference air-gauge, which is being stored at the TiDiCi head office.

9. Emergency service system in your country and abroad. Some transporters say they usually don’t encounter problems on the road. But keeping in mind the fact the trucks don’t show up in the depot for months, makes it hard to believe. Truck tires receive damages, get repaired by non-professionals, not speaking of guarantees. So there are problems indeed. Fortunately solution is available – mobile service from TiDiCi and Dalnoboy with unified standards.

10. Scheduled truck tires inspection. Ongoing estimation of truck tires in depot gives general overview of tires handling in the company. A lection about correct truck tire service is not enough. They also have to follow all recommendations. To get the general idea inspection of 30% of tires per quarter would be enough. How? With help of TiDiCi experts. Where? You can whether invite our expert to make a free inspection in your depot or come to one of our technical service station Dalnoboy with the same intention.

11. Decide what to do with carcasses. Precise accounting, estimation and storage of carcasses with our help will help you save more assets.

12. Find out how much money you spend on truck tires and service. In other words you need to have information about not only new truck tires cost, but all the operations implemented on them during their life (balancing, repair, transpositions etc.). If you have this information, you have complete information on what is profitable in your case.

Now ask yourself a question – has everything in your company been done according the rules listed above? If that is so, we can only congratulate you and offer to share experience. However, if you are still not among TiDiCi customers you must be losing a lot of money on maintaining truck tires. Sure you can try to handle all the 12 matters yourself. But what will it cost? And are you sure you will succeed? TiDiCI did already. And it took us 6 years to do that.
