How fleet maintenance managers can cut the number of roadside breakdowns and the frequency of component failures.
In fourth quarter 2020, truckload carriers logged 14% more miles between breakdowns compared with Q3, according to TMC/FleetNet America’s latest Vertical Benchmarking Program data.
Under Daimler Trucks North America’s new roadside assistance programs for both Freightliner and Western Star customers, FleetNet America will provide emergency roadside assistance services, including towing and recovery, mobile truck repair, tire repair, and more.
The average cost per roadside repair is up 30% year over year, but five systems account for almost 70% of the work – identifying where many fleets might want to focus their attention.
Overall unscheduled roadside repairs were down in the second quarter of this year, according to the latest Truckload Vertical Benchmarking study from TMC and FleetNet America.
American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council and FleetNet America are partnering on a new maintenance benchmarking program for fleets to compare operations to their peers.
