ATS Euromaster to help haulier cut costs13 August 2012
In a bid to secure consistent and competitive tyre pricing nationwide for its truck and trailer fleet, haulier HB Holt & Sons has appointed ATS Euromaster.
The agreement will see Taurus tyres fitted to the East Yorkshire-based operator's fleet of 50 trucks and 74 trailers – which range from 7.5 tonne rigids to 44 tonne artics – as wear dictates. The tyre supply will be backed up by 24/7 access to emergency roadside assistance via a single freephone number.
HB Holt & Sons previously sourced tyres from independent tyre dealers. This meant that in the event of a tyre failure away from base, the haulier had to locate a supplier and was prone to being charged the highest retail prices. Brand availability in such instances also varied; being driven by dealer stock rather than the customer's defined fitment policy.
"Our previous supplier offered good local support, but we were left at the mercy of tyre dealers charging us significant sums if we ran into problems outside Yorkshire," says says Eddie Holt, managing director, HB Holt & Sons.
"When you are stuck at the roadside, miles from home and needing only one tyre, you're not in the best position to secure the most competitive deal," he continues. "You are also restricted to fitting whatever brand of tyre that dealer has on the shelf."
