Reinventing the Hubcap: How XTRACTOR Protects Fleets
Episode 356: In this episode of The Heavy Duty Parts Report, host Jamie Irvine sits down with Chris Miller, President of The Hub Corp, to discuss the launch of their groundbreaking XTRACTOR™ hubcap. Unlike traditional hubcaps that simply seal the wheel end, the XTRACTOR™ introduces a built-in multi-stage magnetic and mesh oil filtration system designed to actively remove contaminants from hub oil.
Chris explains how dirty hub oil leads to premature wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and costly downtime, particularly for small fleets. By combining advanced filtration with a patent-pending HexThread™ cartridge for easier servicing, The Hub Corp aims to lower total cost of operation and extend component life. This conversation highlights how innovation in even the smallest parts can have a massive impact on fleet performance and profitability.
The Hub Corp: Introducing the new standard in wheel-end protection: The Hub Corp's revolutionary XTRACTOR™. The only line of heavy-duty hub caps with a built-in 3-Stage Magnetic Oil Filter that safeguards critical axle components under extreme loads for longer. And with the patent-pending HexThread™ cartridge, the XTRACTOR makes hub oil servicing and inspections faster, easier, and cleaner. The Hub Corp: Challenge The Standard.

Episode 355 : In this episode of The Heavy Duty Parts Report, host Jamie Irvine speaks with Kris Harrington, CEO of GenAlpha, about how buying habits in the heavy-duty parts industry have evolved over the past five years. They discuss the acceleration of digital sales channels driven by customer expectations for convenience, speed, and accuracy, emphasizing the need for businesses to provide self-service, remote, and in-person options.
Harrington highlights common misconceptions about e-commerce—such as viewing it only as a shopping cart—arguing instead that a digital platform should serve as a comprehensive business transformation tool offering product information, service history, and efficiency gains.
The conversation also explores challenges with ROI measurement, internal adoption, and competitive pressures, while differentiating GenAlpha’s Equip360 solution as industry-specific, consultative, and continuously evolving. Finally, they address the role of AI in discoverability, customer support, and productivity, stressing that companies must adapt to remain competitive in a rapidly changing digital landscape.

Our guest, Jeremy Cordray from EnerSys, helps us to understand the differences in battery technology. We also discuss why different batteries will be required in electric and autonomous vehicles as more countries head toward reduced emissions objectives.
