The Snider Story

What put us on the map.

Snider Fleet Solutions has grown to be one of the largest service providers to the trucking industry. We are now the 4th largest commercial tire dealer and the 5th largest retreader in the U.S.

We currently have more than 60 locations along major highways, and the number is growing. We’re 1,400 employees strong, and independently owned and operated.

We always go The Extra Mile.

It’s more than a slogan for us. From Day One, everybody who joins our team commits to going above and beyond the routine performance of their jobs. This might mean taking ownership of a problem and seeing it all the way through to its solution. It might mean thinking creatively to solve a customer’s problem.

Our corporate support for this high level of dedication includes making a chaplain available to any of our employees who need spiritual guidance.

John H. Snider opened this tire shop in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1976. He put operating principles in place that have evolved with technology, but have never fundamentally changed. They’re focused on giving service—to our customers, to our community, and even to the whole planet.

We grew because we served our customers well—and because we committed ourselves to staying at the leading edge of developments in our industry, always finding innovative ways to improve our service even more.

The company lands its first big customer for mounted tires, Chemical Leaman Tank Lines. (Many years later, this connection would grow into our innovative, multi-state TRACS distribution system.)

1976

From one modest location in 1976, to over 80 and counting. We owe our growth to our customers, who have been the focus of the company from the very beginning.
