Commercial Truck Wheel Alignment

In the transportation industry, tires remain one of the highest costs for truck and fleet operation. Correcting a truck's wheel alignment can prolong the useful life of its tires and contribute to better fuel economy.

Not every commercial service provider has the right equipment to accommodate alignments for tractor trailers and other commercial vehicles. If you're in Salina, KS , Topeka, KS , Manhattan, KS, or a surrounding area, however, you can take advantage of our truck alignment service.

At Commercial Tire Centers, Inc. , our heavy-duty truck technicians understand the symptoms of misalignment on commercial vehicles. We use state-of-the-art alignment equipment built to quickly locate misalignment issues.

Big Truck Alignment Benefits

• A truck alignment will realign wheels to a straighter roll position on the road for less roll resistance. Less roll resistance means less friction, and ultimately, better fuel economy and tire longevity, as well as decreased component wear and driver fatigue.
• Front end alignments on commercial trucks are important because the back wheels on the tandem axles follow in their tracks. Misaligned tandem axles will cause the truck to “thrust” or “scrub,” resulting in the vehicle being pushed out of straight line travel. Every service begins with a front end alignment and extends to all tandem axles.
• If drivers complain about fighting the steering wheel or the truck pulling to the side, then a semi-truck alignment is a necessary procedure to counteract the effects of misaligned wheels.
