Everyone knows the benefits of preventative maintenance, yet we still forget to have this completed on vehicles, trailers, and other forms of equipment. This regular and routine maintenance is necessary to keep them running and helps prevent costly unplanned downtime from unexpected failures. A successful maintenance strategy requires planning and scheduling maintenance of equipment before a problem occurs. Regular washing and cleaning of the trailer to decrease chances of corrosion is highly recommended.

“The DOT inspection that Timpte offers utilizing the Express Service Lane at our Customer Service Centers is an excellent resource to identify potential Maintenance items that may be missed on a standard pre trip or PM inspection” says Ken Davis, Parts, and Service Manager – Illinois. “Our multi-point (DOT) inspection is free of charge if the trailer passes, if we do find issues that require attention, we can help that customer avoid costly fines and downtime before they become an issue.”
