For local commercial fleets, delivery trucks, and service vehicles, September weather changes mean preventative checks are vital to avoid costly downtime on the job.
5-Minute Fall Fleet Pre-Trip Inspection:
Tire Pressure Check: Cold morning air drops tire pressure by roughly 1 PSI for every 10-degree drop in temperature.
Inspect Air Hoses & Lines: Cold weather makes rubber hoses brittle—check for cracks or chafing near fittings.
Test All Exterior Lights: As morning hours stay darker longer, ensure all brake lights, clearance markers, and turn signals are working.
Fluid Level Scan: Check power steering, engine oil, and hydraulic reservoir levels before leaving the yard.
