Michelin adds 32 travel plazas to service network

Michelin Americas Truck Tires added product offerings and services at an additional 32 truck stop locations in the United States during the first half of 2008.

"Truck stops play a vital role in supplying tires and emergency services for the trucking industry," says Marc Laferriere, vice president of marketing, Michelin Americas Truck Tires. "This expansion deepens the availability of Michelin products and services along America’s highways and will help to meet the soaring demand for Michelin X One wide single tires, which deliver excellent fuel and weight savings."

"Partnering with Michelin makes sense for us," says Bobby Berkstresser, general manager, Lee Hi Truck Stops. "It involves combining top-quality products with top-quality service. Plus, we are seeing the demand increase for Michelin products, especially X One wide single tires. We want to be where the market is going."

Jerry Gibson, general manager, Wes-T-Go Truck Stop, agrees. "For independent truck centers, like us, Michelin makes an excellent business partner because they provide access to top-quality products that our customers demand, and they provide us excellent service through their field engineers and representatives."
