How to ensure longevity of trucks for transport and logistics companies?

Most transport and logistics companies operate their truck fleets under heavy-duty operations. This can lead to increased wear and tear. So as to increase the longevity of trucks a number of steps can be taken. In this blog, we will discuss these different steps. They are as follows:

1.   Rotating vehicle usage

2.   Identify technical glitches early

Identifying glitches that might aggravate and become major problems, is a smart thing to do as far as improving the longevity of trucks is concerned. For this thorough and timely technical inspection is the key.

3.   Optimize routes  for better driving conditions

Driving conditions such as the status of the roads can affect the way your trucks function. This is why optimizing routes for proper driving of the trucks is a necessary evil.

4.   Change of oil

Changing oil is an important step to ensure the longevity of the truck. The different mechanical parts of the truck will function better if the oil is regularly changed.

5.   Implement rotation of tires

Tire rotation is as important as changing oil. It helps in ensuring even wear. Normally, all tires need changing after driving a certain amount, but the front tires face the most wear. Changing them regularly is tantamount to the maintenance of trucks.

6.   Inspect the lights

Your trucks need to be in proper condition for driving smoothly. Well-functioning internal and external lights are thus essential for proper functioning and safety. It can be ensured by regular inspections.

7.   Refer to the user’s manual

For optimal usage, it is required to refer to the truck’s user manual from time to time. In it, all the necessary details of how to maintain the truck are generally enlisted. To ensure this, ATI provides truck maintenance services in Canada for its clients at affordable prices.
