Fleet maintenance is an activity that is part of transportation management and is primarily responsible for ensuring that vehicles remain in good repair, so that they can move around with less risk, meeting delivery deadlines, maintaining the integrity of the vehicle. driver and cargo.
Long before maintaining the fleet, it is necessary to think about preventive solutions so that the fleet can serve customers safely. At TRANS REID we adopt the checklist procedure before each vehicle is shipped. Extremely important item for the quality of transport services. A fleet that undergoes preventive maintenance is a fleet that minimizes the risks of accidents and delays in deliveries.
Here at TRANS REID, the entire fleet undergoes a daily checklist before each operation is shipped. The entire fleet passes through the so-called black ball, where an operator checks the vehicle to ensure that all items have been checked in full. Every six months a company specializing in diesel vehicles checks the fleet and presents a preventive and corrective maintenance plan.
This procedure has provided us with a very positive result in operational events. Our KPI for operational occurrences has a very aggressive goal and we are always contemplated with satisfactory results.
The benefits of fleet maintenance reverberate directly in the service of the field operation. The scheduled review provides several benefits to your transportation company, including:
• Cost reduction: by identifying the needs for repairs before the problem occurs, repairs are quicker, simpler and more affordable. This means that the truck is stopped for less time and maintenance costs are lower.
