I asked the Maintenance Directors to share their opinions on what we could do to influence our maintenance spend. The information they shared was excellent. Here is a Top 10 list:
- Pre/Post Trip Inspections
- Meet scheduled service dates
- Small part replacement program-carry tools and light kits
- Utilize inspection lanes at terminals
- Tires, Tires, Tires-Inspect them, protect them, and use an air gauge liberally. Maintain a spare if you have a tractor with a spare tire carrier
- Reduce unscheduled maintenance in ALL shops; Run b-service to b-service unless Safety Related items occur
- Be specific when writing up equipment (more detail is better)
- Modification of equipment
- Keep our truck interiors clean, especially when slipseating to another tractor
- Use trailer door tie backs (bungees) EVERY time.
