ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Episode 367: In this episode, Jamie Irvine talks with Jon Barganier and Spencer Wilson from Allpart Supply about the hidden costs and operational challenges caused by truck and trailer misalignment and frame issues.
They explain how misalignment leads to excessive tire and fuel expenses, premature wear on suspension components, and even driver fatigue, while also creating major liability risks for fleets. Jon and Spencer describe how Allpart Supply’s mobile alignment system differs from traditional rack‑based setups by allowing accurate alignments anywhere—without pits, level floors, or large shop space—and how this reduces downtime, labor, and liability for fleets.
They also discuss their 3D frame‑measurement technology, the often‑overlooked importance of trailer alignment, common misconceptions from fleets, and the extensive training and ongoing support they provide to ensure technicians can perform alignments quickly and effectively.
