How does "Tire Pass" at Loves work?

Not operator error, faulty equipment. Operator was very ####y and would not admit the equipment was faulty. Like I said the manager handled it very well.

 

HaHaaa.."Trained tire guys"...LoL

 

So according to this thread it works by pressing the button which summons a cashier who deflates your steer tires.

 

I see these things in all the Love's I come into now.
And, I wonder why?

They take up a whole fuel lane, and all to check the air pressure?
We can do that easily enough just by thumping or using a pressure gauge. We can fill a low tire easily enough as well - without wasting ten bucks.
And like a previous poster mentioned, it can cost you more time and money if it screws up.

The people that came up with this expensive idea are of the same breed that came up with Plus-1 in Swift.
They are nothing more than boneheads.

 

I'd rather have a laundry room.

 

I was at the Mid America trucks how in 2014 in the original driver panel, we got paid to give feedback to Loves to a few ideas they had like factoring, the layout of tire shops going forward, and this.

It was pointed out that this would tie up a lane. If busy you can pull into the fuel island anyway, even if you don't need the service. You might even have free credits on your card. The purpose is to drive business to their tire shop. I can tell you I've already had Loves techs call and lie to my company about how much brakes I had left to try and get a brake job.

 

Well, looks like other truck stops will be getting my business now. I have no desire to sit and wait at fuel islands even longer

 

My local loves only has one fuel lane dedicated to this. It was installed and open about a week before a driver nailed it with his trailer and messed it up bad. Haven't seen it open since.
