Fixing a truck is only part of the equation. Without the right maintenance processes and documentation, even completed repairs may create challenges during an audit or roadside inspection. In this episode of Driven by Diesel, Stephanie and Tina discuss how consistent vehicle maintenance practices may help support safer operations, improve record keeping, and prepare motor carriers for inspections and audits. From daily driver inspections to preventive maintenance schedules and annual inspections, they cover practical processes that may help fleets identify issues early and document repairs along the way. You'll also hear practical ideas for improving maintenance processes, encouraging thorough inspections, and creating documentation that reflects the work your team is already doing.
