OKLAHOMA CITY -- Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores Inc. and Michelin Americas Truck Tires have signed a cooperative agreement that will expand service to the trucking industry. Beginning in May 2008, Love's Travel Stops will feature Michelin truck tires and related products and will begin expanding the services offered at many of their locations to include tire and emergency road service.
"Our intention is to grow this additional service rapidly to reach the critical mass necessary to become a true alternative for the trucking industry" said Kevin McCarthy, divisional manager of [image-nocss] tire sales and services for Love's. "Before the end of 2009, we will have enabled 100 locations to carry the new Love's Tire Care banner and offer emergency road service along their key access corridors as well as tire sales and services."
Love's is family owned business headquartered in Oklahoma City. It currently has more than 200 locations.
Greenville, S.C.-based Michelin designs, manufactures and sells tires for every type of vehicle, including airplanes, automobiles, bicycles, earthmovers, farm equipment, heavy-duty trucks, motorcycles and the space shuttle.
