Every minute your commercial vehicle is sidelined is a minute of lost revenue. At AA Fleet Services, we’ve been helping Orlando fleet owners stay mobile since 2015. While breakdowns are sometimes unavoidable, a robust PM (Preventive Maintenance) schedule is your best defense against costly repairs.
Here are five critical areas to monitor:
- Oil and Fuel Filter Cycles: Regularly scheduled oil changes and fuel filter replacements are the lifeblood of diesel and gasoline engines.
- Hose and Belt Inspections: Small cracks in a belt or a bulging hose can lead to catastrophic engine overheating if not caught early.
- Tire Health: Proper inflation and tread depth are vital for safety and fuel efficiency, especially for heavy-duty commercial rigs.
- Fluid Level Management: Beyond oil, ensuring your cooling, brake, and transmission fluids are topped off prevents long-term mechanical wear.
- Brake System Checks: Full brake and transmission service ensures your drivers can stop safely in any weather condition.
By prioritizing these “General Services,” you reduce the risk of accident damage and keep your fleet compliant with DOT standards.
