In this episode of Wheel-End Wisdom, host Tim Gillespie sits down with Eddie Steffes and Bob Bortner to talk about one of the most overlooked hazards in commercial tire shops: slip hazards, messy bays, and what we call “shop glitter” or balancing beads.
Together, they break down:
- How to spot a safe vs. unsafe shop the moment you walk in
- Why a fast-paced environment is the #1 driver of shop accidents
- The “penguin walk” and “old man shuffle”
- What leadership can do right now to build a true safety culture
- Why switching to FLEXX saves money in the long run
- How fleets are investing in safety, and why a simple product switch matters
Whether you’re a manger of a fleet, run a commercial shop, or work in the bays daily, this conversation is for you. Like, subscribe, and join the conversation!
