Fleet managers can schedule their vehicles for regular maintenance with us and save unexpected downtime and emergency repairs. Properly scheduled oil and filter changes, tire inspections and rotations, brake adjustments, fluid level checks, and an overall safety inspection of your fleet will save you money and roadside inspection failures.
Low-tread tire depth and brakes out of adjustment are two of the most frequent failures at the “chicken coop” or roadside inspections. What’s more, these can lead to out-of-service (OOS) orders and delays.
Missed delivery deadlines make your fleet look bad, costs you money, and can lead to dropped shipping contracts. Plus, well-maintained vehicles are more fuel-efficient, last longer, require less downtime, and fetch a higher price at trade-in than poorly maintained vehicles.
Tire Tread & Pressure
Rotating tires and ensuring proper pressure is crucial to fuel savings. Likewise, you don’t want to get caught short of tire tread at a roadside inspection. Good tire maintenance is a must for your fleet.
Tire pressure fluctuates with temperature changes. Vehicle tire pressure can affect handling, fuel mileage, and tire wear, which contributes to your driver safety and vehicle use and availability.
Preventive Maintenance & Fuel Efficiency
Preventive maintenance that includes correct tire pressure and alignment of the drive wheels will increase gas mileage. Regular oil changes will promote good engine health and prevent sudden breakdowns. This will not only save you on unanticipated repairs but will reduce downtime and the indirect costs of switching vehicles or trailers.
We want to help you minimize downtime and optimize vehicle productivity through a robust preventive maintenance system.
