He drives a 1996 W900 Kenworth with an enclosed air ride trailer. His Kenworth is powered by a 3406E Caterpillar engine with 800 HP and an Eaton Fuller 18-speed transmission.<\/p>\n<p>The tractor-trailer combination weighs 59,420 pounds and his total load weight is typically in the 80,000 pound range. Carl put his latest set of RLB400&#8217;s (<span>285\/75R24.5 RLB400 14 ply) on about 3.5<\/span>&nbsp;years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Carl says he checks his tire air pressure every other day, and the folks at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Southeast-Truck-Specialist-Inc-115503215134168\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Southeast Truck Specialists<\/a> in Pompano Beach align his Kenworth once or twice a year &#8211; both very important for optimum tire wear!<\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doublecointires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2_rlb40020cropped.jpg\" alt=\"rlb400 cropped.jpg\" width=\"150\" title=\"rlb400 cropped.jpg\" caption=\"false\" data-constrained=\"true\" style=\"width: 150px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doublecointires.com\/tire\/rlb400\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RLB400<\/a>&nbsp;(pictured to the left) features an extra deep 30\/32&#8243; tread and solid shoulder ribs for good handling and maximum traction. Its multi-extruded tread package promotes cooler running, which preserves casing integrity and promotes multiple retreads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u00abI knew the RLB400&#8217;s wear like concrete, but my latest results are simply astounding,\u00bb Carl told me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>Carl has Double Coin <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.doublecointires.com\/tire\/rr202\/\">RR202 ultra premium 5-rib tires<\/a><span> (315\/80R22.5 20 ply) on his steer axle. This&nbsp;heavy-duty highway service tire is perfect for multiple applications including heavy loads and transport buses. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I was glad to hear from Carl that his business was up this year over last, so I asked him his secret to customer service. \u00abI do what I tell my customers I was going to do, which is really important when you are hauling cars worth $500,000 or more,\u00bb he says. \u00abAnd if I&#8217;m going to miss a deadline for some reason, I let them know immediately. My customers don&#8217;t like surprises.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>We wish Carl safe travels and many more years of business success on his Double Coin tires!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;\">If you&#8217;re interested in learning more about the RLB400, please click below and we&#8217;ll follow up with you.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;\">{{cta(&#8216;a3de53a1-2b9a-49bc-a529-f2bfb171fef7&#8242;,&#8217;justifycenter&#8217;)}}<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disculpa, pero esta entrada est\u00e1 disponible s\u00f3lo en English.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-customer-testimonials"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doublecointires.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doublecointires.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doublecointires.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doublecointires.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doublecointires.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.doublecointires.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4414\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doublecointires.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doublecointires.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doublecointires.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
