If you will buy me 8 of those at that price, I'll give you $50 a tire commission. :)

I have had others say and offer similar things to me. My carrier has the account and records the serial numbers on the tires for the tractor. This is because they track every serial number for tires so they can catch thieves stealing trailer and tractor tires. Every time i buy a new one, they want the old serial number and the new one as it goes on before they will approve a purchase. I don't have to buy through them, I own my truck, but at that kind of discount, I will hassle with it.

They get that pricing because they have 2,000 trucks and 4,000 trailers.

Luckily because of the amount of tires I have on my unit, and the fact that I do my own tire work and rotate tires frequently they don't even waste their time tracking me that close.
I made the decision a while ago to pull the pin on my current contract and have been stockpiling tires at the fleet discount for some time. I have 16 new and 8 new recaps in stock in my storage container at this time. I wish I could have put another set of drives and steers away as well...oh well...
I just put a skid of 5gal pails of Shell oil away as well. The spring oil sale was pretty decent this year at $12/pail off, so I stocked up...
Now seeking a super filter discount.
