Unexpected downtime is every fleet owner’s worst nightmare.
A disabled truck stranded on the side of the road creates a chain reaction of cost and inconvenience.
A driver who might be paid per mile has been temporarily prevented from earning his or her wage. A shipment the truck is carrying has been delayed. The fleet manager must arrange a roadside repair or a tow depending on the nature of the repair or the truck’s distance from the nearest service station – a significant cost on its own. Finally, a key asset is sidelined and unprofitable while those repairs are made.
