Newly Revised Guide Helps Fleets Improve Wheel & Rim Inspection Procedures

The Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) of American Trucking Associations, Inc., has completely revised its successful User's Guide to Wheels & Rims, with the publication of a new full-color edition that's designed to help drivers and technicians spot wheel, rim, and fastener problems, and help fleets minimize the risk of wheel separation.

The newly revised manual offers maintenance supervisors, technicians, inspectors and instructors what TMC regards as the best maintenance practices for medium- and heavy-duty wheels and rims in accordance with all DOT regulations. Developed by the industry's foremost wheel and rim experts and maintenance personnel, the one-of-a-kind Guide to wheel and rim maintenance will help shop personnel analyze and solve nearly all types of wheel and rim problems.

The price of TMC's User's Guide to Wheels & Rims is $50 each (Item No. T0410) for TMC or ATA members and $65 for nonmembers. To order the Guide, call TMC's Customer Service line - ATA Marketplace - at 800-ATA-LINE. Volume discounts are available. For additional technical information, individuals can call TMC offices directly at 703-838-1763.

TMC member fleets represent 1.3 million trailers, more than 750,000 straight trucks, and more than 600,000 Class 8 tractors purchased in the United States - one third of the commercial vehicles operating on U.S. highways.
