Preventive Maintenance

Posted on August 6, 2018August 22, 2018 by diammoo67

Ideal Truck Maintenance Fleet Preventive Maintenance Program

When you have a fleet of vehicles it is extremely important to implement a proper preventive maintenance (PM) program. This should consist of regularly scheduled servicing, road-safety inspections, and repairs to prevent potential problems and maximize the amount of time that your fleet of vehicles are on the road. The downfall of not having a great preventive maintenance program is ever increasing vehicle breakdowns, reduced life of the vehicle, inefficient usage of fuel, increased downtime and missed deliveries, all of this results in a negative effect on the dependability of your business. Preventing this from happening is made easy by contacting Ideal Truck Maintenance and let us put a preventive maintenance package together for that will keep your fleet on the road, minimizes downtime, and is easy on your budget.

All of our preventive maintenance actions include vehicle inspection, lubrication,
adjustment, cleaning, testing, repair, and/or worn parts replacement.

At Ideal Truck Maintenance we place a significant level of importance preventive maintenance. Aside from having a solid driver safety program, your fleet preventive maintenance program should be considered an integral part of your companies plan for success.

Please realize that if you are knowingly placing unsafe vehicles on the road, then you are placing your fleet manager and/or company in peril and can be held liable for incidents that may occur on the road. As defined, liability is premised upon providing an employee with a dangerous tool or instrument, such as a vehicle, while knowing, or having reason to know, that use of the vehicle creates unreasonable risk or harm to others. Simply stated, the vehicle must be safe to operate. Should the brakes fail causing a serious crash or fatality, the vehicle is impounded by authorities for investigation.

Your company can easily avoid this headache and potential financial ruin for your business simply by implementing a preventive maintenance plan that is provided by Ideal Truck Maintenance.

Fleet Preventive Maintenance Methods

At Ideal Truck Maintenance we provided two types of fleet maintenance:

Scheduled preventive maintenance
Unscheduled breakdown maintenance

Scheduled Fleet Maintenance allows Ideal Truck Maintenance to perform common repairs, adjust fluids, clean dirty engine components, replace worn parts, lubrication, and perform an overall safety check of the vehicle.

Unscheduled Fleet Maintenance allows Ideal Truck Maintenance to perform quick road-side repairs, quick fixes in the shop, safety check of the vehicle, other items designed to get the vehicle back on the road in short order. The unscheduled maintenance is not an alternative to scheduled maintenance (and may incur more of cost). This is a quick fix only to ensure the road worthiness of the fleet vehicle. Not all unscheduled maintenance can be avoided; for example, drivers may accidentally leave on the interior lights, causing a dead battery. It should be comforting to know that Ideal Truck Maintenance will be there for you.
