Predictive Maintenance: What Every Maintenance Department Needs to Know
Fleet maintenance is complex, demanding, and costly, with expenses extending far beyond routine repairs. According to the American Transportation Research Institute, about 11% of a fleet’s operating costs per semi-truck, or roughly $24,100 every 100,000 miles, are spent on maintenance and tires alone. These significant expenses add to other major costs such as fuel and insurance, placing ongoing strain on maintenance budgets. Predictive maintenance is emerging as the future of fleet upkeep, helping maintenance departments anticipate issues before failures occur, reduce downtime, better manage costs, and improve overall fleet reliability and efficiency.
