Fleet maintenance refers to vehicles that are regularly serviced, inspected, and repaired as part of a structured fleet management program. These vehicles are managed by professionals or dedicated teams who ensure maintenance schedules are consistently followed to optimize performance, safety, and longevity.
In a fleet maintenance program, vehicles undergo routine maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotations, engine diagnostics, and brake inspections. This proactive approach prevents breakdowns, reduces costly repairs, and minimizes vehicle downtime. Detailed records of maintenance activities are typically logged, ensuring compliance with regulations and helping identify potential issues before they become significant problems.
Fleet-maintenance vehicles are generally more reliable and have a longer lifespan compared to poorly managed assets. For businesses in the trucking industry, adhering to a fleet maintenance program reduces operational costs, improves fuel efficiency, and enhances driver safety.
