Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should I Service Trailer Brakes?

Trailer brakes should be inspected and serviced every 12,000 miles or at least once a year, depending on usage. Heavy loads and frequent stops may require more frequent checks. Regular service ensures safe braking performance and helps prevent costly failures on the road.

What Is the Best Way to Manage Fleet?

The best way to manage a fleet is by using fleet management software to track maintenance, fuel usage, and driver behavior. Scheduling regular inspections and logging repairs help reduce downtime. Clear policies and consistent reporting improve efficiency and control operating costs.

How Do I Decide to Replace or Repair?

Decide to replace or repair based on cost, downtime, and vehicle age. If repairs exceed half the truck’s value or frequent breakdowns disrupt operations, replacement may be better. Consider long-term reliability and whether the repair solves the root issue or just delays more problems.

What Routine Maintenance Is Required for a Truck?

Routine maintenance includes regular oil changes, fluid checks, tire inspections, and filter replacements. Inspect belts, hoses, and suspension components to prevent unexpected breakdowns. Following a scheduled maintenance plan improves reliability, extends the truck's life, and reduces costly repairs down the road.

How Do You Manually Regenerate a DPF?

To manually regenerate a DPF, you typically use a diagnostic tool to initiate the process. The truck must be parked with the engine at operating temperature. During regeneration, the exhaust temperature rises to burn off soot. Always follow the manufacturer's procedure to prevent engine or exhaust damage.
