No matter how well you drive and how cautious you are on the roads, being optimally safe begins with proper vehicle maintenance. However, A vast majority of drivers often forget about scheduling their next maintenance appointment or it just simply gets pushed down the priority list. This is until a dash warning light goes off.
Businesses that own/operate commercial vehicles must always ensure they are properly maintaining their entire fleet while being proactive with driver safety. GPS fleet management technology can help businesses do much more than track vehicles on a map – scheduling vehicle maintenance reminders and checking vehicle health in real-time is one of the central functions. Automating these processes removes some of the uncertainties that fleet managers face on a daily basis and will help ensure your fleet is in tip top shape.
The below items include just some of the many areas of maintenance that must be regularly inspected:
Brakes, Tires, and the Windshield
Starting with your tires, keeping them properly inflated and rotated year-round, in addition to inspecting your brakes, is very important as potential accidents and liabilities can be mitigated. Similarly, check for windshield cracks, and getting them fixed on time can help stop the spread of the crack. The proper functioning of windshield wipers must also be explored.
Battery
