As a fleet manager, what’s our biggest objective? Arrive, deliver, or pickup safely and on time. If one of these three objectives are not accomplished, we are often met with disgruntled customers.

Traction devices allow you to travel safely on slippery roads and in adverse weather conditions. Most people who use these devices navigate in less than optimal conditions because it's their job.
Here is what David Anderson, former Director of Transportation & Fleet at Adams 12 Five Star Schools in Colorado has to say about Onspot automatic tire chains on their school buses:
“Onspots are great tools! Give them some general maintenance and they last the life of the bus.”
The automatic snow chains are genius when you encounter adverse road conditions in the colder seasons. With just a flip of a switch you have instant traction added so that you can get up in speed or if you need to stop, you get improved braking power. But what about the rest of the year, when you are not in the winter season? In the middle of the summer or in autumn?
2021... The turn of the year we have all been waiting for. 2020 brought with it surprises the world was not ready for. COVID-19 has changed the way we live our daily lives.
Getting a grip – what is the best option?
The Onspot family would like to wish you and your families and very Merry Christmas! We may not be traveling out of town this Christmas, but hold those in your house close and cherish this moment.
