Heavy-Duty Alignment

Get Your Trucks Aligned & Cut Costs

In the transportation industry, the two highest operating expenses are fuel and tires. Wheel alignments extend tire life and tire performance to reduce fuel consumption and improve tire longevity, reducing overall fleet operation costs.

How Often Should I Schedule an Alignment?

Have the alignment checked at every maintenance interval, and pay attention to signs of misalignment that occur before then. If you notice irregular tire wear or hear complaints about vehicle handling, you may need a wheel alignment.

All Big Vehicles Welcome

At J & S Fleet Service, we have the equipment to perform heavy-duty wheel alignments on all types of big vehicles. We serve businesses in Birmingham, AL and all surrounding areas.

Did You Know: Research shows fuel and tire costs are higher than necessary, with an estimated 70% misaligned trucks on the road.

Big Truck Alignment Benefits

Keeping up on wheel maintenance has its perks.

• Improve Fuel Economy: Realign wheels to a straighter roll position for less roll resistance. With less roll resistance, you get less friction and better fuel economy. Alignments also improve tire life, decrease component wear, and decrease driver fatigue
• Solve Handling Problems: Front end alignments on commercial trucks are especially important because the back wheels on the tandem axles have to follow in their tracks. Misaligned tandem axles cause the truck to “thrust” or “scrub,” resulting in the vehicle being pushed out of straight line travel.
• Decrease Driver Fatigue: If your drivers complain of fighting the wheel, or the truck pulling to the side, then a semi-truck alignment service is a necessary procedure to counteract these effects of misaligned wheels.
