Hey truckers... I just signed up to this site to get some information from all of you regarding tire work.
Now I know a lot of the the big name trucking companies have national accounts for tire work, but I am going at a different approach to safety in mind on the road.
Here's my question...
I am a tire technician certified through the government... If I were to setup a roadside service truck exclusive to retorquing units, what would be a fair amount to pay for this service? This price would include both truck and trailer. Peace of mind knowing your tires won't fall all. I can provide a receipt for work completed with my certification number as proof of qualification. I'm currently looking into the legal side of this project. Good idea or it'll never work idea? Thoughts please

Re torques are free at most tire shops. That's the problem I see with your business. I'd only go in business to make money, but that's just me.
On a side note, I am by no means trying to be rude.tega365 Thanks this. -

But what if you're on the road when the shops are closed. After hours retorque's are expensive, but this person sitting at an inspection station can do it for a small fee? Yes?

Not sure how much business you would get. If a truck just needs a re-torque and has to pay for it he will just drive to a tire shop along his way. I don't see a mobile repair needed to just come out and re-torque the wheels.
