One of the most common problems I see is related to the braking system, especially worn-out brake pads and air brake failures. It's critical to regularly check the brake linings and air compressor functionality, as failure can lead to catastrophic accidents. We also see issues with the turbocharger and exhaust system, which are often caused by poor maintenance. Diesel engines are designed to run hard, so keeping an eye on oil levels, fuel injectors, and filters is key to avoiding costly engine repairs down the line. I always recommend routine checks every 10,000 miles to catch issues before they escalate. We offer comprehensive diagnostics to find problems early
Routine maintenance is the key. Semi-trucks are like any other piece of machinery—they need regular care to perform at their best. I’d recommend keeping a strict maintenance schedule that includes oil changes, filter replacements, brake inspections, and tire rotations. Pay close attention to the engine’s performance and listen for any unusual sounds, as they’re often the first sign of something going wrong. It’s also crucial to educate your drivers on pre-trip inspections. A few minutes checking tire pressure, fluid levels, and brakes before each run can save you a lot of trouble and prevent breakdowns. Investing in preventative care will always cost less than dealing with an unexpected major repair.
