Being the owner of a truck or trailer fleet requires critical attention to detail. Maintenance needs to continually be top of mind, and breakdowns and repairs are inevitable. While these are all crucial elements in successfully operating a fleet, two other components are just as important; the safety and comfort of the fleet driver. Safety, of course, is the number one priority in all circumstances for both the driver and others on the road, but driver comfort can get overlooked. Air conditioning, and keeping it operating properly, is a huge factor in the comfortability of the fleet driver as they take on the open road.
Fleet drivers operating in uncomfortable conditions are inclined to take more breaks, slowing productivity. It also aids in distraction, with their focus being pulled from the road to their discomfort. Both scenarios are very far from ideal, and when your wheels aren’t turning, you’re not earning. When a vehicle’s air conditioner is not functioning properly, neither can your drivers. However, through dedicated air conditioner maintenance, driver discomfort can be easily avoided.
Here are four things to keep in mind when dealing with air conditioner maintenance:
