Larger-volume tire users are now eligible to join the Tire Industry Association (TIA).
“We are very excited about adding fleets to our membership roster, and we want to show fleets that membership in TIA is not an expense; it’s a value,” says Executive Vice President Roy Littlefield. “From discounts on training, to discounts on services and products, to representation in Washington on issues of great importance to fleets, TIA will work hard to deliver the value and quality our other members have come to expect and enjoy.”
Fleet owners and managers who sign-on have access to discounts on the organization’s training and certification programs, including Commercial Tire Service (CTS) and OSHA Compliance. The TIA can custom-design tire service training programs allowing fleets to combine classroom instruction and hands-on training in the business’ maintenance facility for commercial and off-the-road tire service, he says.
These new members also have access to significant savings on programs such as Comdata’s Fleet Team – a service that frees merchants involved in providing parts, maintenance and repairs to fleets from receivables-management while allowing them to offer their customers a fleet maintenance system at no cost, Littlefield reports. Other program discounts include Coface Commercial Credit Information and Collection Services, Ceridian payroll services and a significant discount on overnight and freight shipping from one of the world’s largest package shippers, he points out.
