Case Study: Bill Taylor Transportation achieves 1.7 million miles of virtually trouble-free service with Eaton UltraShift

Numbers adding up nicely for Eaton UltraShift user

Bill Taylor Transportation, an independent owner-operator team based in Enfield, Connecticut, needed a truck setup that could deliver reliability, fuel efficiency, comfort, and safety for long-haul work. Their main challenge was keeping the vehicle uptime high while reducing driver stress in congested traffic and maintaining profitable fuel consumption.

Eaton supplied an UltraShift automated 13-speed transmission for the Western Star truck, backed by strong preventative maintenance practices. The result was more than 1.7 million miles of virtually trouble-free service, with only a gasket replacement needed to fix a fluid leak. Bill Taylor Transportation also reported easier operation, improved comfort, and added safety benefits, and said they would specify another Eaton transmission in the future.
