What shops should plan for
A shop does not need a slogan. It needs a list. The film’s list is short enough to put on a work order. Socket. Existing hub bolts. Sensor bar across the hub. Curved fitting on one valve stem, straight fitting on the other. Optional chrome hub cover. Repeater inside the steering-axle wheel, in the hand hole. Receiver in the cab where the driver can see it. Antennas and a power lead from the kit. Then Learn the positions: truck 1 through 6, trailer 1 through 4. Pre-trip is on the same handheld, with power and mute.
Time on that work order comes from the film too. About five minutes for one sensor. About forty minutes for the truck. Trailer installation is very similar. Plan bays in those blocks, and plan for stems that are damaged before you arrive. The film’s minutes assume the install it shows. A stem that needs replacement is a stem job, not a hidden feature of the product. Say that honestly so the forty minutes is not treated as a warranty against rust.
Safety planning is finishing every position you intend to run, dual or single. A wireless transmitter on a finished dual equalizes pressure between the two tires and monitors low and high pressure. An unfinished inside dual is a hole in the safety case, because that is the tire that runs hot when the pair is split. The truck drives balanced when the positions that carry it are connected. Temperature, low pressure, and high pressure only get a stored date and time if the cab display is actually mounted and the repeater is actually in the wheel.
Security planning is who owns Learn. If the installer leaves and nobody learned the positions, the shop delivered hardware the driver cannot name. Put Learn on the work order, not in someone’s memory. Value planning is one visit for the tractor and a similar visit for the trailer, instead of a truck that returns three times for “the rest of the wheels.” The kit in the film is unpacked as one box. The current website calls that all-in-one and says built in the USA. Those two phrases are site claims. The film is the work order.
Do not add prices, torque values, or PSI targets the film does not speak. The 104 PSI and 53°F screen is a picture, not a spec to stencil in the bay. The closing line is optimal tire pressure and performance wherever you go, which is the reason the bay time exists.
Every truck and every trailer you service is a candidate, for safety, security, and value. If you are a shop writing for a fleet, say how many bays and how many units. Someone replies about your trucks. If the form does not send, email customersupport@truckstpms.com. The page keeps the note.
Stock the bay for the film's list and nothing extra you have not justified. Socket set that actually fits your studs. Caps. A light, because inside duals are dark even at noon. A second person for the cab during Learn. A place to write positions on the work order before the truck moves. If a stem is damaged, stop and replace the stem before you call the sensor failed. Shops that rush the fitting onto a split stem create the first low-pressure event of the new system and then distrust the system. Tell the foreman the forty minutes starts when the wheel is ready, not when the truck enters the gate. Put broken hardware on a different line of the ticket. The Greenbox fit should be judged on hubs that were fit to hold a wheel. That is a fair shop standard, and it keeps the product from being blamed for a hub you already knew was tired.
