“Goodyear is already one of the world’s largest operators of commercial truck service and retreading centers and has nearly 800 company-owned commercial and retail tire and auto service centers across the U.S. and Canada,” Dave Beasley, vice president of Goodyear North America Commercial, said in a release.
