Quick question: what if your cargo is being tracked before it’s even stolen… and your tires are hitting 0 mph while you’re cruising at 60?
Cargo theft isn’t just increasing, it’s getting smarter. Organized groups are using better tech, tighter coordination, and targeting weak links across fleet operations. At the same time, drivers are stretched thin and systems aren’t always connected, making it harder to stay ahead of risk.
Then there’s this: every time your truck hits the road, part of your tire actually stops moving. That contact patch hits 0 mph with every rotation before snapping back into motion. Add in heat, pressure changes, and constant flexing, and suddenly tire health feels a lot less routine and a lot more critical.
There’s also a call going out to technicians across the industry. Real stories from the shop floor, the challenges, the wins, and the stuff people outside the bay don’t always see. It’s a chance to bring more voices into the conversation.
And Ram just made things interesting by bringing back the 2027 ProMaster City. Urban-focused and clearly aimed at the growing demand for last-mile and service fleets.
