A Simple Guide To Managing Truck Maintenance Expenses

Keeping up with truck maintenance can be difficult, especially when you have multiple vehicles in your fleet to keep track of. Each needs specific parts to be serviced on their own schedules.

Obviously, the best way to keep your trucks in top condition is by sticking to regular maintenance schedules, but sometimes remembering which vehicle needs service can get tricky, and maintenance can become neglected.

This is where TruckLogics can help with automated maintenance reminders.

Maintenance Reminders

TruckLogics provides a place for you to quickly upload information about all of your trucks. Your vehicle’s make, model, serial number, odometer reading, mpg, and more will all be stored in one convenient location. You can also enter corresponding information about all your drivers.

Adding a maintenance schedule for your vehicle is easy. Log in to your TruckLogics account, then hover the ‘TruckZone’ tab and click maintenance. Then click ‘Add Maintenance’ and select your truck by unit number and include the current odometer reading.

You can then add the type of maintenance your truck needs to receive from a list of our options or add your own maintenance task. Then simply enter how often you need the maintenance task to occur.

For example, you can say that you would like to change the air filters on your truck every 5,000 miles. Complete adding your maintenance task by adding any vendor details, if you would like.

Maintenance Schedule

Your maintenance schedule is totally customizable to your fleet’s needs. Maintenance schedules can be tracked by date, hours, or miles. Then you can relax knowing that TruckLogics will notify you when it’s time for your trucks to be serviced again.

You can also set up email reminders to be sent to you 1 day, 5 days, or 7 days before the scheduled maintenance time. You’ll also see a maintenance reminder when you log on to your account on your dashboard.

TruckLogics will also record the amount of fuel purchased, used, and miles per jurisdiction will be recorded to correctly update the odometer readings for your maintenance schedules. These totals also provide you all of the numbers you need to quickly and correctly generate an IFTA report for filing.

ProMiles also helps you improve your fuel efficiency by being able to provide you with the most fuel-efficient route for your trips. However, you can use ProMiles to plan the most direct route as well.
