Indianapolis • Linehaul & Regional Fleets
Cab A/C isn’t just comfort. It impacts driver fatigue, electronics, and safety — here’s what to watch.
Cab A/C can feel like a comfort feature until it quits during a humid Indiana summer. Then it becomes a safety concern. Hot, worn-out drivers make different decisions behind the wheel than rested drivers who can actually cool down.
Common A/C failures on heavy trucks include leaks at crimped hoses, failing compressor clutches, weak blower motors, and electrical issues at the pressure switches or control head. A mobile tech can usually diagnose those problems in the lot with gauges, a meter, and a good understanding of how the system should respond.
Treating A/C like a safety and retention item changes how fleets budget for it. When you plan for inspections, performance checks, and proactive leak repair, you avoid repeated ‘charge-and-go’ visits that never fix the root cause. You also send a clear message to drivers that their comfort matters.
