Taking Care of Your Fleet
Posted by Tim on March 27, 2006
I would like to own my own fleet. We have been trying really hard to hit the “BIG” one that we could start building our future. What is your advice on how to become successful? What can we do to improve our company? PLEASE HELP!
I will only address the tire issues here. First, inflation pressure...make sure the tires have the proper inflation pressure for the load they are carrying. Second, total vehicle alignment. Make sure each axle (steer, drive and trailer)is properly aligned to the vehicle manufacturers specs or tighter. Finally, make sure that shocks, bearings, bushings and all components of the steering and suspension systems are well maintained. Tires are typically the biggest maintenance expense. Treating them right will reduce maintenance costs and help you hit the "BIG" one.
