About forty minutes for the truck
Time is the objection that shows up before price, and this site does not invent a price. The film does give a time. About five minutes for one sensor. About forty minutes for the truck. Trailer installation is very similar. Those are the numbers a shop can plan a bay around. They are not a promise that every truck in every yard, with rusted stems and missing caps, will match a stopwatch. They are what the film shows for the work it walks through.
The work is specific. Fasten the sensor bar across the hub on the existing wheel bolts with a socket. Put the curved fitting on one valve stem and the straight fitting on the other. Decide whether the sensor stays visible or goes under the chrome hub cover. Place the repeater inside the steering-axle wheel. Mount the receiver in the cab where the driver can see it. Power, mute, Pre-trip, and Learn are on that handheld. Truck positions 1 through 6 and trailer positions 1 through 4 are how the truck is named after the hardware is tight.
Safety is why the forty minutes are worth taking in the yard instead of in pieces on the road. A half-installed truck is not pressure maintained. On the duals that are finished, the wireless transmitter can equalize pressure and monitor low and high pressure. On the positions still waiting, the driver is back to feel and luck. The truck drives balanced when the positions are done, not when the first bar looks good in a photo. Temperature, low pressure, and high pressure are stored with a date and time only for the system that is actually in the cab and learned.
Security for the foreman is a job with an end. Forty minutes has a start and a finish. A truck that enters the bay and leaves with the receiver mounted is a truck the next driver can use. A truck that leaves with hardware in a box on the floor is still the old truck. Value is that the alternative is not free. Gauges, add-air, early tire replacement, and road calls already consume labor. The film’s forty minutes is a single block of that labor, once, for a tractor. The trailer is a similar block, not a research project.
The kit in the box includes the sensor bars, hoses, handheld, cabin display, repeater, antennas, and power lead. The current website calls it an all-in-one package and says it is built in the USA. Label both as site claims. The film shows the parts and the minutes. It does not quote dollars, warranties, or savings percents, and neither should the conversation. One frame shows 104 PSI and 53°F. Leave that frame in the film.
Every truck and every trailer needs the time scheduled for safety, security, and value. If you want a shop-shaped answer, send the number of tractors and trailers. Someone replies about your trucks. The form keeps what you typed if sending fails, and the direct address is customersupport@truckstpms.com.
Forty minutes is a bay plan, not a lunch-break plan. Have the kit at the wheel before the truck is spotted, not in a cage across the yard. Count bars against positions before you start so you do not discover a missing hose at minute thirty. Learn the positions before the truck rolls off the pad, and have a second person sit in the cab while the first is still at the wheel. That pairing is what keeps the forty minutes from becoming a comeback. If you are fitting several trucks in a day, do not strip parts from the first to finish the second. A half-finished first truck is the one that will leave if dispatch gets loud. Write the finish time on the work order. A truck that took two hours because of broken stems is a stem story. A truck that took two hours because the kit was incomplete is a planning story. The film's number assumes the second one has already been solved.
