Compliance with vehicle maintenance is a necessary part of keeping commercial vehicles running safely, legitimately, and efficiently. Regular compliance with maintenance schedules, inspections, and repairs helps commercial vehicles stay road-worthy and in compliance with the policies of the United States Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and other regulatory authorities.

Routine vehicle maintenance works to prevent breakdowns, reduce the risk of vehicular accidents, and increase the useful lifespan of fleet assets. Maintenance itself includes routine activities such as oil changes, brake inspections, tire rotations, and engine diagnostics. Another component of compliance involves keeping accurate maintenance records.

Should preventive maintenance not occur, fines, operational downtime, and even accidents might follow. Regulatory agencies might penalize fleets when vehicles are not maintained to specifications. Insurance premiums might increase. A fleet’s safety rating could be diminished.
