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.
