Gods of Truck Maintenance

Truck owners, drivers and truck maintenance technicians always say a prayer to the gods of truck maintenance-equipment manufacturers. A prayer can do wonders and so too do these equipment manufacturers like Vehicle Inspection Systems popularly known by the acronym VIS. They manufacture systems for aluminum wheel refurbishment as well as refinishing aluminum wheels.

VIS has been the bedrock of truck maintenance equipment for more than 2 ½ decades. They are synonymous for safety and hence the prayer. Technicians are all praises for the easy truck wheel polishing machines that keep the wheels looking pristine and as good as new. There is more than appearance or cosmetic purpose for this machine. The shiny surface exposes the slightest trace of damage to the wheel so that remedial action is undertaken immediately. A slight bend in the rim contour can lead to over inflation of the tire that will eventually throw the wheel out of balance. This can cause wheel-bearing wobble and render the inner wheel to additional stress.

The burly Mexican born American actor Anthony Quinn (1915 - 2001) played the role of the political prisoner Kiril Lakota in the 1968 film The Shoes of the Fisherman and his famous quote said that despite the torture he remained alive and helped other prisoners because he had the power of faith and he could move mountains. Truck drivers are as burly as Quinn and most of them have the power of faith as they traverse the mountains and plains driving down the highways that can cause mayhem if their truck does not function as it should.
