TravelCenters of America Launches JPRO "All Makes" Diagnostics Application at TA Truck Service and Petro:Lube Locations
PC-Based System Allows for Quick Vehicle Diagnostics
WESTLAKE, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
TravelCenters of America LLC ("TA") today announced that it has
completed its nationwide rollout of Noregon Systems, Inc.'s JPRO Fleet
Diagnostics, a highly advanced, truck repair diagnostic tool for all
makes. The heavy duty diagnostic software is installed on portable
computers, which connect to any truck's diagnostic port to provide an
immediate display of fault codes and key vehicle component information.
The new tool will allow for faster diagnosis and resolution of
mechanical and related issues and get drivers back up and running.
"The JPRO diagnostic tool is the most complete commercial vehicle
diagnostic tool on the market and will have a huge positive impact on
truck repair services we provide to our customers," stated Tom O'Brien,
President and CEO of TA. "The ability to plug directly into a vehicle's
nerve center to pinpoint issues is a wildly powerful capability to add
to the already broad range of capabilities of our master technicians.
Whether it's the engine, the transmission, or the tractor or trailer
braking system, the JPRO diagnostic tool has the potential to decrease
downtime for our customers and get them back on the road faster than
ever before."
All of TA and Petro:Lube's truck service technicians are trained in
troubleshooting and performing diagnostics on heavy duty truck systems,
including using the JPRO diagnostic tool. The JPRO tool works with
original equipment software to provide an accurate diagnosis of issues
in today's highly complex vehicles. TA and Petro:Lube are running
Noregon's JPRO version 5.0 — with diagnostic abilities for heavy duty
vehicles through the 2010 model year, including components manufactured
by Allison, Bendix, Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Daimler
Trucks, Eaton Fuller, International/Navistar, Mack, Mercedes Benz,
Meritor WABCO, Volvo and ZF Friedrichshafen.
Combined, TA and Petro have 220 Truck Service and Petro:Lube locations,
with over 2,500 technicians on staff, many of whom are ASE-certified by
the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. These
technicians also provide roadside truck repair services through TA's
RoadSquad® 24-hour emergency roadside service.
