Downtime is one of the most expensive problems fleet managers face. Whether it’s a delivery van stuck in traffic with a blown radiator or a semi sidelined during peak business hours, every unscheduled stop costs time, money, and customer trust.
It’s easy to underestimate the full cost of a breakdown. You’re not just paying for a tow and a repair — you’re dealing with missed deliveries, idle drivers, late penalties, and sometimes even lost contracts. For many of our clients, a single downed truck can mean $600 to $1,000+ per day in lost productivity.
But here’s the good news: most breakdowns are preventable.
Preventive Maintenance (PM) isn’t just about changing oil — it’s a strategic process that includes regular inspections, fluid analysis, brake checks, tire rotations, and system diagnostics tailored to your fleet. A solid PM program catches issues before they snowball, reducing emergency repairs and extending the life of your vehicles.
At our shop, we’ve helped businesses cut roadside breakdowns by up to 40% just by sticking to a structured PM plan. Whether your fleet is made up of pickups, box trucks, or semis, we’ll help you customize a schedule that keeps your vehicles on the road and your team productive.
