Tractor Trailer Maintenance Service - Memphis and the Midsouth
Lack of a proper tractor trailer maintenance service plan can reduce or eliminate your profit expected from hauling a
load.
The annual annual FHWA trailer certification is not the
solution for keeping your transportation equipment in optimal condition needed to help control your operating cost.
Minor problems that occur in between the annual required inspection can expand into major issues and cost that could seriously
impact your business operation.
What can unknown or ignored minor problems that turn
into major problems cost you?
- Possible personal injury lawsuits resulting from the lack of a maintenance
inspection plan to discover and eliminate safety problems with trailer components such as holes in the decking.
- Losing a present customer who decided to choose a carrier
with properly maintained and inspected transportation equipment. Your customer angry for the second time about the delay
in their shipment due to your equipment in poor operating condition will quietly select another carrier to handle their shipments
to keep from losing their own customer base.
- Finally,
operating cost escalating due to allowing minor repairs to expand into a major repair cost. A good example
is allowing a brake lining measurement of 16/32" found during the annual inspection
to pass as acceptable only to have the brake lining wear down in the coming months to below the minimum 14/32”
brake lining measurement.
The absence of an effective tractor trailer maintenance service plan to catch these types of problems
is now resulting in the brake shoe rivets damaging the brake drum.
Not only do you have the brake shoe replacement cost to absorb, now you have the brake drum cost and the emergency
road side repair cost to absorb.
All that extra repair cost and you still have to make the phone call to your
customer saying there will be a delay in their shipment due to an emergency brake repair. At this point you have to be or
should be thinking about your customer becoming a former customer.
