The team was excited about finding a new trailer at Walmart in Robert, LA. They knew that this trailer would not be refused at the next shipper (Folgers, Lacombe, LA).
Our new trailer has the Meritor inflation system on the trailer tires. This is a great benefit for our drivers. It also helps when we are inspected.
More than 80 percent of fleet tire problems are
caused by improper inflation. In fact, tires represent the second largest
financial expenditure for most fleets.
The award-winning Meritor Tire Inflation System
(MTIS™) by P.S.I. is an automatic tire inflation system that keeps tires
properly inflated. The system increases tire life, fuel economy and safety by
helping to compensate for pressure losses resulting from typical tire punctures
and other slow leaks. Unlike equalization systems that merely distribute air
from one tire to another, or monitoring systems that simply tell when a tire has
lost air pressure, MTIS uses compressed air from the trailer’s air system to
inflate any tire that falls below a preset pressure whenever the vehicle is in
operation.
