Semi-Truck Preventative Maintenance Services

Proper preventative maintenance is the key to keeping semi-trucks driving in top shape. Not only can the right truck fleet maintenance services help improve your bottom line, saving both time and money, but they can also help make sure that your truck keeps going for as long as possible.

Preventative maintenance includes oil analysis, D.O.T. inspections, alignments, and more. Preventative maintenance has many advantages, including cutting down on unscheduled maintenance time, improving line items such as gas expenditure and service charges for parts that wear prematurely, and more.

Many drivers and fleet managers find that with the correct fleet vehicle maintenance, they are able to decrease their total cost of ownership (TOC) per vehicle, leading to increased company profit further down the line. There are many benefits to staying up-to-date on preventative maintenance for your trucks and many risks of ignoring routine services.

Here at LubeZone, we are here to help fleet managers, owners, and truck drivers get the most for their money. We know that in the world of trucking, time is everything. You can’t afford to have any vehicles in your fleet off the road, especially if it’s unplanned and due to a mishap.

Additionally, we know that you can’t afford to wait around for countless hours at full-service shops that perform countless other services, such as engine mechanics. These things only hold you up, keep your drivers off their routes, and ultimately, negatively impact your profit.

Advantages of Routine Fleet Vehicle Maintenance

There are many reasons to schedule your routine fleet vehicle maintenance at LubeZone Truck Lube Center. Doing so can help you effectively manage which vehicles are on and off the road, ensuring that each of your routes has coverage. This can help your drivers, your clients, and your customers, as well as your business. Additionally, there are countless other benefits to making sure you stay on time with preventative maintenance for your fleet.

Improve Mileage and Reduce Fuel Costs

The money your drivers spend on fuel likely makes up for a large percentage of your fleet’s costs. Drivers often need to fill up multiple times a week during long trips, and heavy loads can mean the vehicles go through fuel more quickly than you would like. Unfortunately, you can’t control the price of fuel, and you often have to adapt to the ebbs and flows of the market. While this can sometimes make it challenging to budget appropriately, proper fleet vehicle maintenance can help.

Having the right routine maintenance can help ensure your fleet’s engines are all working at optimum capacity, getting the most miles out of every gallon. While you may not be able to control the price of diesel, you can make sure your fleet uses it wisely.

Proper Scheduling and Route Coverage

If you know that three of your fleet’s trucks are going to be off the road for preventative maintenance on Wednesday, you can ensure that there are other vehicles available to cover those routes. Additionally, you may be able to reassign those regular drivers, give them the day off, or re-arrange their working hours to accommodate the maintenance. These are the benefits of planning ahead. This can save you money when you can keep drivers home when they aren’t needed and can ensure your clients do not experience a lapse in service.

Reduce Unexpected Service and Maintenance

Sure, from time to time, it’s likely that you will have to take a truck off the road without warning. Accidents happen, parts wear out, and vehicles break down. However, doing so can cause an undue burden on your staff as well as your customers. Additionally, it can cause major stress for fleet managers as they scramble to find coverage.

With the correct preventative maintenance for semi-trucks, you can take a more proactive approach to schedule service, which can help spot potential issues before they turn into major problems.

Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) Inspections

Your semi-trucks need a Department of Transportation inspection once a year, and missing the date can result in hefty fines for your business. At LubeZone Truck Lube Center, we have trained and certified inspectors on-site to perform quick, easy, and thorough evaluations of your fleet. Make sure that all of the parts and components of your fleet’s trucks are in safe working order, and bring attention to any items that may need repair to keep your vehicles in compliance with the Department of Transportation.

We recommend that you call and confirm bay availability prior to your arrival for D.O.T. inspections at all LubeZone locations to help minimize wait times. Hours of service for D.O.T. inspections may vary from regular maintenance hours.

Complete Oil Analysis

Do you want a more in-depth picture of how well the engines in your fleet are functioning? The semi-truck engine oil analysis at LubeZone is just the service you need. We’ll provide you with a better understanding of your engine health, including documenting levels of specific wear metals and contaminants that may be present in your lubricant and what this could mean for your vehicle.

Semi-Truck Tire Service

Semi truck tire checks are an important part of fleet vehicle maintenance, and on semi-trucks and trailers it can seem like quite a feat. There are many tires on each vehicle, and the improper PSI on just one can lead to a blowout or a major accident on the highway. Additionally, having the incorrect PSI or damaged tires can cause your trucks to handle more poorly and have poor fuel economy.

At LubeZone, we can check the tire pressure in each tire so that your drivers don’t have to. We’ll make sure that each tire is at the correct level and ready to hit the road before we send you out the door.
