The FFS Fleet PM Program — Mobile Fleet Maintenance

The FFS Fleet PM Program is contract preventive maintenance for Class 4-8 fleets — done at your yard, on your intervals, written up the way your DOT file needs it. You stop tracking PM schedules, chasing shop appointments, and wondering what the writeup will look like at audit time. We handle all three. And one number to know upfront: there is no weekend or holiday premium. We schedule PMs when your trucks are parked, so they run Monday through Friday.

Before we hung our own shingle, we ran fleet maintenance at FedEx Freight — a top-ranked shop with zero turnover. We built this program the way we wanted vendors to work when we were the ones signing the POs: intervals tracked without reminders from you, defects tied to FMCSR cites, and no surprises on the invoice. 30 years on Class 4-8 diesel. ASE Master certified across all seven medium/heavy truck areas. Top preventive-maintenance station score at the 2018 TMC SuperTech national competition.

It starts with a yard walk-through: we meet at your yard, look at the fleet, and go through your current PM records and intervals. Takes about an hour, no charge. Then we build your PM schedule by miles, hours, or calendar — whichever fits how your trucks run — and you approve the intervals and the pricing before anything starts. From there, we run the schedule. We track every unit and show up when service is due; you don't send reminders. After every visit you get a written report with findings, measurements, and FMCSR cites where relevant.

A service: safety inspection and lubrication — brakes measured (shoe thickness, drum, slack adjuster stroke), tires, lights, air system, steering and suspension, full chassis lube, fluid top-off. B service: everything in the A, plus engine oil and filter change on OEM intervals, fuel filters, and coolant condition testing. C service: everything in the B, plus annual DOT inspection (49 CFR Part 396), transmission and differential fluid service, and a written condition report on the unit. Defects found mid-PM get quoted on the spot — and if a repair doesn't need doing, we tell you.

The rig carries full diagnostic equipment for engine and after-treatment work (forced regens included), brake measurement tools, DOT inspection equipment, and common-failure parts for Class 4-8 trucks and trailers. That's why most repairs finish in one visit instead of two — your truck doesn't wait on a shop bay, and your dispatch doesn't wait on your truck.

Every fleet runs different iron, so we don't run a one-size-fits-all sheet. Our PM inspection checklists are built by equipment type — tractors, straight trucks, yard tractors, liftgate trailers, reefer and heated trailers, container chassis, sweepers, generators, and light vehicles — and we customize them to your fleet's spec. The core checklist runs 77 points with every DOT-compliance item flagged to 49 CFR Part 396, and every completed checklist gets emailed to you and filed the way your DOT file needs it.
