To help professional truck drivers reduce their costs and optimize their time on the road, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company announced Thursday it will extend the full capabilities of its Commercial Total Solution to carriers of all sizes in Convoy’s Digital Freight Network.
This is the first online discount program Goodyear has offered through its commercial e-commerce platform.
“Goodyear is excited to collaborate with Convoy to offer carriers of all sizes access to our trusted products, premiere service network and complete tire management solutions,” says Johnny McIntosh, Goodyear’s director, integrated solutions and tire management. “Carriers can now get the tires they need at competitive prices with a seamless purchase experience through Convoy’s connection to Goodyear’s e-commerce system.”
Convoy’s technology platform connects shippers with independent carriers, small fleets and owner/operators, who will now have access to Goodyear’s full commercial truck tire portfolio. This includes online discounts on tires on Goodyear’s website, an exclusive service line through FleetHQ to request 24/7 emergency roadside assistance and access to Goodyear’s network of 2,300 service locations throughout North America.
“We’re thrilled to build on our relationship with Goodyear, one of the most trusted brands in the world,” adds Brooks McMahon, Convoy’s vice president, partnerships. “This partnership provides carriers in Convoy’s network with unparalleled access to Goodyear’s online platform and roadside assistance program, at a time when they need that support and assistance the most.”
