How One Fleet Cut Tire Costs and Boosted Safety with Revvo
When you’re running a fleet with 18 trailers and only nine tractors, efficiency isn’t optional—it’s survival. For one fleet operator, constant trailer swaps, inconsistent tire checks, and brutal road conditions were driving up tire costs and downtime. Their solution? Revvo.
In a recent webinar, the team shared their real-world experiences of tackling tire-related challenges head-on. Here are some highlights.
The Tire Problem That Wouldn’t Go Away
Trailers often sat unused for days or weeks, only to be thrown into tough environments full of nails, shingles, and construction debris. Tires wore down fast, with some lasting only 35,000 miles compared to the 90,000–100,000 miles operators expect.
Drivers faced daily frustrations:
- Wrestling with hard-to-reach inner tires
- Struggling with inaccurate gauges
- Losing time checking pressures manually
The result? Higher replacement costs, road calls, and unexpected downtime.
Why Revvo Was the Game-Changer
The fleet turned to Revvo for continuous tire monitoring—not just a one-time fix. Unlike traditional TPMS solutions, Revvo provided real-time data on:
- Pressure – Pinpointing underinflation before it caused damage
- Temperature – Catching hidden issues like brake valve leaks before they became dangerous
- Tread Depth – Using AI to flag when steer tires needed replacement
The impact was immediate. Drivers loved the ease of checking pressures with a quick QR scan, managers reduced service calls, and the company finally gained visibility into tire health across the fleet.
Savings That Go Beyond Dollars
One of the most striking takeaways was that Revvo doesn’t just save money—it saves time and trust:
- Drivers gained back minutes every day by skipping manual pressure checks.
- The fleet avoided catastrophic blowouts that would have jeopardized emergency deliveries.
- Bad tire gauges were identified and replaced, ensuring consistent accuracy.
As the fleet manager put it:
“If I’m saving one tire a month, I’m paying for the program. It’s a no-brainer.”
Lessons Learned on the Road
Of course, there were a few hard-learned lessons along the way:
- Not every trailer was equipped right away, leading to preventable blowouts during emergency moves.
- Earlier TPMS systems couldn’t compare to the insights from Revvo’s temperature and tread depth monitoring.
- Success requires not just adopting the tech, but being willing to self-reflect on shop processes and driver habits.
Why This Matters for Your Fleet
Tire costs are one of the biggest recurring expenses for fleet operators, and downtime hits even harder. Revvo turns reactive maintenance into proactive management—helping fleets avoid costly surprises, extend tire life, and keep drivers safer.
As one driver summed it up:
“This is awesome. I don’t have to fight the inner tire anymore. It saves me time and effort every single day.”
