DOLE TIRE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

6.1 Tire Maintenance and Repair

The carrier is responsible for maintenance and upkeep of tires. He or she will, at his or her

own expense, repair all flats, maintain proper air pressure and make all necessary repairs to

maintain the tires in serviceable condition.

NOTE: Flat spotting of tires resulting from brakes not fully releasing will be billed to the

carrier.

6.2 Tire Replacement

The majority of Doles chassis fleets are outfitted with low profile, 275/80R 22.5 steel belted

radial tires. The Yokohama RY- 587 is Dole’s standard replacement tire. This is now Dole’s

tire of choice and must be used as a replacement tire whenever possible. A small portion of

our chassis fleet (bare chassis for cargo transport only) is equipped with 1000X20 tube type

radial tires or 1000X20 bias-ply tires. Replacements for these tires must be first quality, load

range “F”, 12 ply with a tread depth of 16/32. Dole is converting these units to low profile

tires as rapidly as possible. While Dole recaps their virgin casing. ONLY NEW TIRES will

be accepted as replacements for tires that fail on the road. Bias ply, recaps, or used tires are

not authorized replacements.

If the carrier wishes to reimbursed for replacing tires, then the replaced tires must be returned

to the Maintenance and Repair Department of the Dole terminal from which your equipment

was dispatched unless they cannot be returned practically or safely to the Dole terminal in

which case the carrier must present documentary evidence, including photographs and/or

videos, to demonstrate the nature, extent and cause of the damage to the tires and why they
