ATG Introduces the Galaxy Truck Tire Line

Alliance Tire Americas has launched a new line of truck and bus radial (TBR) tires under its Galaxy brand. The new Galaxy TBR line includes 10 designs and more than 40 sizes of 16-ply, all-steel radials, with plans for continued expansion. The new Galaxy family of truck and bus radials includes long-haul, regional and long/short hybrid tires for steer, drive and trailer positions.

Santa and his reindeer get a lot of credit for delivering presents to the nation’s children, but the truth is the real heroes of the holidays—truckers—don’t ride in sleighs and rely on horsepower rather than Rudolph to make sure the season’s must-have presents are delivered in time to get under the tree.

With roughly 3.5 million professional drivers helping create $650 billion in revenue per year in the U.S. it’s no wonder truckers get a whole week of appreciation—this September 10 through 16, we celebrate National Truck Driver Appreciation Week. Even more notable is the backbone of this industry isn’t large conglomerates, rather it’s a collection small fleet owners and independent operators responsible for transporting clothes, food, and goods across the nation. 

In years like this, marked with unpredictable and unfavorable weather, making sure you’re in control of the factors you can manage is critical. With much of the heartland battling weather that just refuses to cooperate, being too wet for planting or too dry after planting, many farmers have been forced to replant (with some even having to replant a second time)—highlighting the importance of making sure your operation is running as smoothly as possible to help salvage the season.
