Freight rates on the open market have gone crazy!  The ports are all swamped and container ships are anchored offshore waiting to drop inbound containers. The good news is . . . CMA/Double Coin is better positioned than most tire manufacturers to keep our TBR and OTR customers supplied.

Great news for our fleet and owner operator customers – Love’s Travel Stops has opened 10 new Speedco locations and one new Love’s Truck Care center.

Experts predicted a hotter than average summer for most of the country and boy were they right, especially out West. Unbelievable! Dangerous for humans . . . and for tires!

The pandemic has taught us many things, both positive and worrisome. On the positive side for CMA/Double Coin, the pandemic has further improved brand loyalty for Double Coin tires.

One gallon of diesel cost an average of $3.13 in the US last month, an increase of 64 cents compared to April 2020. It has only gotten higher in May. Tire rolling resistance, always top-of-mind with tire R&D experts, always gets more attention from trucking fleets when fuel prices go up.

We’re pleased to announce six new additions to Double Coin’s team of sales executives.

Skid steers defined the compact equipment market for many years, but then compact excavators, compact wheel loaders, compact track loaders and compact utility loaders came along.

If a trailer tire delivers long tread life, a retreadable casing and low rolling resistance, it’s done its job right? Not so fast for the spread axle . . . it must also guard against shoulder abrasion.

To succinctly sum up the state of the U.S. construction industry, you might say, “2020 bad, 2021 good!”

Analysts are mixed on the 2021 trucking freight outlook, but agree that constraints exist, including tire supply. We’re doing our part at CMA/Double Coin; our new highly advanced plant is producing 4,000 TBR and OTR tire units each day!
