Testimonials - Carrier NationaLease
"When I came here two years ago, I was from a dealership background where we believed in lead weights and balancing. I was pretty skeptical about using EQUAL. But Carrier had been using EQUAL with proven results for several years, so I kept it up," says Jim Thwing, Service Manager for Carrier NationaLease.
"Today, I'm still putting EQUAL in all of our steer tires before they hit the road, and I love it. It's so simple to use. And it's a great savings. We're running roughly 200 trucks, both local, straight trucks and over-the-road, coast to coast. Our tire mileage is definitely better than what I hear about from others who don't use EQUAL. We get more out of each tire and we never have to re-balance."
"I know for a fact that it takes an hour to balance a set of steer tires with weights. So your bill will always be $40-70 depending on the labor charge. With weights, they're likely to move or come off. So you know you'll have to re-balance at least two times during the life of the tire. For two additional balances you're talking another $140. That's real dollars saved. With EQUAL, once you put it in the tire, you know you're not going to have a problem."
"I've talked to other companies who use EQUAL and have heard nothing but good reviews. Now I'm a believer, too."
