Small & Mid-Size Fleets • 10–75 Units
A simple way to compare PM spend to what breakdowns really cost in lost loads, overtime, and stress.
When money is tight, maintenance can feel like a place to trim. Oil still looks clean, brakes are not squealing, and the truck is still starting. The problem is that breakdowns do not ask permission before they show up. They just send a bill measured in hours, tow charges, and frustrated drivers.
A simple way to frame the decision is this: add up one month of PM spend, then add up one ugly breakdown. Include the tow, hotel if needed, overtime, missed revenue on the load, and the hit to your reputation. For most fleets, one or two bad road calls cost more than a full quarter of thoughtful PM work.
On-site fleet maintenance lets you control more of that equation. Instead of losing a unit to a shop across town for a full day, a tech shows up where the truck parks and works around your schedule. The spend is visible, the notes are documented, and you can see the pattern in black and white.
