How truck tire data tells an application story

Data is simply the representation of activity in digital zeroes and ones. So, what if you could leverage it to better understand your truck tire activity–from how they perform in their application to wear patterns and reasons for removal? That’s information that you could act on to boost your bottom line. You know how huge tire expenses are. Now is the time to take control of them.

But how do you do it?

To answer that question, I connected with Shaun Hartoog, advanced customer consulting, digital solutions specialist, Dana Inc., which offers its Rhombus Tire Analytics platform. We talk tire data collection, identifying tire trends and how you can make solutions work for your fleet. Watch the video above for all of the info.

Co. show trailer at this year's TMC show held in New Orleans. "Keeping trailer lights lit is vital to uptime because you're not going to get a violation, you're not going to get an infraction, you're not going to be put out of service by CVSA. It is just very critical to keep everything illuminated like it should."
