“This new app is designed to provide fleets and owner-operators with easy access to the Michelin products and services offered by our commercial truck tire dealers,” says Bianca Hogan, U.S. marketing manager, Michelin Americas Truck Tires. “With mobile and up-to-date information, the Michelin Truck Dealer Locator app allows users to easily locate the tires and services they need to run their operations and get their vehicles back on the road.”

Truckers can search for dealers by location (address, city state and ZIP code) or by latitude and longitude. The search then can be refined to select dealers with the specific products, services or network/service providers they need. The company says there is new drag and drop capability so users can easily update their location by moving a simple icon. And, the type-ahead feature lessens the input required to get results. Truckers also can search by the desired location instead of their current location. Search results include all dealer details, omitting the need for numerous clicks.
Powered by Google Maps, the free app includes all Michelin commercial truck dealers across the country. The app is available in the iTunes and Google Play app stores, and is found by searching “Michelin Truck.”
