    Kudos to Michelin

    We have had Super-Singles on our truck for 3 years and availability has never been a problem. I ordered them right from the factory and they have been great tires. I see no reason not to have them.

    Bentz is now spelled Bolt.....

    We have had or have been associated with 4 Bentz sleepers. We have had very few problems and when we did they were available to assist us over the phone or if we were in the area, they got us in and repairs were made quickly. We now have 2 SST100 trucks and are very happy with both of them...

    Lodi Metals was a lot cheaper than New Haven Equipment. If I remember, it was like about one-third of the price.

    We have a SST100 truck with tandem axles and super singles. We just replaced the super singles and had no trouble getting them at McMahons in Fort Wayne, IN. We received the Michelin discount and the whole process was trouble free.

    Bentz Transport Products Closes its Doors

    I am sorry to hear about their closing. Over the years we have had three Bentz sleepers with a very minimum amount of problems. Any minor problem was usually solved with a phone call and if we had to take the truck to Bentz, it was fixed very quickly and correctly. Dick, Keith and Charla Bentz...

    In the past, we have had to run the reefer to carry class 1 explosives. The product was a prototype and had to be kept at a certain temperature. Our truck was equipped with a master shutoff switch for the reefer and we never had any trouble hauling explosives.
