Responsible fleet managers know this and invest in PM. With that said, there are additional benefits of PM that often float under the radar, including: 1. Better Fuel Mileage Can regular preventative maintenance checkups save fuel? You bet. Greasing movable joints, pivots and other components keeps them from wearing out and becoming insufficient. PM can also identify and correct many other fuel-stealing conditions, including: Dirty air filters Friction from dirty oil Improperly inflated tires Slipping clutches Improperly adjusted brakes Clogged fuel filters Clogged radiators + More 2. Compliance The State of New Jersey requires trucks and buses to undergo systematic inspection, repair and maintenance. On-Site’s preventative maintenance service fulfills this requirement, as well as those from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Since our PM is designed according to FHWA guidelines, we don’t charge for the FHWA Annual Inspection. It’s the old, “two birds with one stone.” 3. Recordkeeping The paperwork for a fleet piles up quickly and can be difficult for managers to keep track of. When we complete preventative maintenance on your trucks, we store the records safely and electronically. You’ll receive digital and hard copies, and we can re-send them to you on a moment’s notice any time your compliance is questioned. 4. Long-Term Savings Lastly, and most importantly, we can’t stress enough that preventative maintenance is more about the long-term savings than it is the short-term expense. It’s always more cost-effective to keep things from breaking than to fix them after they’re broken. Let On-Site identify and address potential problems before they arise; we will tend to your fleet quickly and with unparalleled communication. To learn more about our services, click here.
