" For a number of years now Steertrak have carried out annual steering and axle
alignment checks on all vehicles and trailers within our fleet, we see this as
a logical step in effectively managing tyre and fuel costs, and a fleet alignment
programme has without question enabled us to achieve this. Since embarking on this
programme tyre wear has been reduced across all axles, with increases of around
18% in the life of steer axle tyres, 10% on drive tyre life and a further 13%
improvement in trailer super singles. Apart from the from the tyre wear savings,
if trailer axles are out of alignment, fuel consumption will suffer, it's like driving
with the brakes on. Improvements in consumption on artics have varied from between
3.8 to 18.6%, and with rigids we saw savings from 3 to 11%. We have had an excellent
relationship with Steertrak and our particular regional engineer since 1996, and have
always been extremely pleased with the professional manner in which both the company
and the engineers conducts themselves. Therefore we are pleased to be associated
with Steertrak and look forward to continuing to strengthen our ties in the years to
come, and would certainly have no hesitation in recommending the service to anyone."

" Steertrak have been managing our annual fleet alignment programme since
1987, and are undoubtedly the only choice for professional operators who
require continuity of service and reliability such as ourselves for any
one of our numerous depots throughout the UK. For any Fleet Engineer or
vehicle operator with a genuine desire to maximise fuel and tyre efficiency,
conducting regular professional alignment checks on vehicles and trailers
is an extremely effective procedure, which should not be ignored. Over the
many years that Steertrak have conducted the monitoring and maintenance of
steering and trailer axle alignment on our behalf, we have realised that
the savings involved do in fact make a fleet alignment programme a
self-funding exercise. At Gregory's we pride ourselves in providing clients
with a professional and efficient service and genuinely caring approach to
customer relations, as a company with a like minded attitude to business
we are happy to be associated with and endorse the Steertrak service. We have
had a long and very beneficial relationship with Steertrak, and in the years
to come can only see these ties strengthened as both companies continue to
grow together."Fleet Engineer - Gregory's Distribution, Cullompton.
