As many carriers know, properly maintaining a truck can cost more than $15,000 a year if nothing goes wrong. When unplanned breakdowns happen, they’re rarely a quick and convenient fix. […]
This white paper, brought to you by FreightWaves and Uptake, explores ways that data and technology can revolutionize your maintenance processes. Saving you time, money and protecting your drivers from harm.
Mining big data to discover problems before they lead to breakdowns is comparatively new in commercial trucking. Heavy hauler United Road tested the service from Uptake. After a 400% return on investment, it is expanding predictive maintenance to more of its fleet.
Fleetpal is built on VMRS, the universal coding system, allowing it to track and segment equipment failure and operating costs efficiently.

KeepTruckin introduces Maintenance Reminders, a tool that helps companies avoid unscheduled vehicle downtimes.
Deciding to purchase a Class 8 truck is a large and serious investment. Truck drivers often dream about the day they drive their very own Class 8 vehicle off the […]
A new survey of small fleets and owner-operators found they would like to utilize many of the same tools larger fleets do to control costs, including more technology like predictive maintenance.
In partnership with Reliance Partners …Predictive data analytics has helped foster preventive maintenance in the trucking industry. It helps fleets plan their asset usage better, recruit and retain skilled drivers, and more importantly, reduce unplanned equipment downtimes.
SAP introduced Intelligent Asset Management (IAM), a suite of solutions that brings collaborative asset intelligence, planning, prediction, and simulation to equipment maintenance and operation.
Truck repairs are inevitable, but a new solution from Uptake that utilizes Geotab sensors and artificial intelligence aims to identify problems before they become extended downtime events.
In partnership with Reliance Partners …Many of the 1,600 violations were easily preventable, but no one had caught them prior to the surprise inspection.
Techpertise together with TMW Systems …A shortage of maintenance technicians is making unplanned downtime more costly than ever. We talked to Renaldo Adler from TMW to find out how predictive maintenance can cut roadside breakdowns by 70%.
From device connectivity to data monitoring to data analytics to automation. The solution sweet spot is ultimately automation.
Industry experts detail what’s coming and how we need to get on board the “last mile” technology train.
TMC offers a free dashboard for unscheduled maintenance data using VMRS codes; Omnitracs gets into software; OPEC meets with shale producers in Houston; the Port of Virginia begins using truck reservations to manage traffic.
Predictive maintenance is something that has been talked about for several years. The ability to identify when particular components might fail, or to proactively replace components before they fail based on past data trends has been referred to as the Holy Grail of vehicle maintenance.
