Improving fleet performance through knowledge, tools, and real-world experience.
In today’s fast-paced industries, from transport and logistics to construction and agriculture, downtime is the enemy of productivity. Every hour a vehicle sits idle is an hour of lost revenue, delayed deliveries, and increased operational costs. But the good news is that with the right systems and proactive management, fleet downtime can be significantly reduced, […]
Every fleet manager faces that moment of hesitation: do you keep repairing the same vehicle or finally replace it? It’s not an easy call. The decision carries financial weight, operational risk, and long-term consequences for your fleet’s reliability. What makes it harder is when your maintenance data isn’t clear, when you’re relying on guesswork or […]
Investing in technology is one thing. Making sure it actually improves your operation is another. You can have dashboards, GPS, sensors, and inspection apps, but if you’re not tracking what matters, it’s hard to know if any of it is working. Fleet performance is more than uptime and revenue. It’s how effectively your systems support […]
Every workshop has that mechanic who can read hieroglyphics. Give them a coffee-stained job card with barely legible handwriting, and somehow, they figure out what needs doing. But what happens when that person’s not around? Or when the job card says “fix brakes” but doesn’t specify which brakes, what parts, or what the original fault […]
Becoming an owner-operator is one of the boldest moves in the transport world. It takes more than a truck and a plan. It takes grit, foresight, and a deep understanding of where your time and money actually go. Gearbox doesn’t replace that hustle. But it does give you tools to make the process cleaner, leaner, […]
Let’s face it: skimping on inspections might save a few minutes today, but the cost of a roadside breakdown tomorrow is where the real damage happens. Inspection programs that go beyond daily pre- and post-trip checks help fleets catch hidden problems early and avoid lane-stopping failures further down the road. In fact, many organizations that […]
Most fleets don’t have a shortage of tools or people, they have a shortage of time. Mechanics, supervisors, and operations teams are often spending too many hours each week chasing paperwork, repeating admin tasks, and trying to piece together maintenance history. The biggest time sink? Poor jobcard workflows.
Every fleet is different. Some rely entirely on internal mechanics with a dedicated workshop and service bay. Others outsource all repairs and servicing to trusted vendors. Many do a bit of both. But no matter how your operation is structured, one thing is constant: you need a clear, consistent way to track what work is […]
If you’ve ever faced a fleet audit under DOT or Canada’s NSC standards, you know it’s not just about having clean trucks or well-worn tires. Auditors want documentation. And when service records are missing, incomplete, or inconsistent, that missing paper trail can lead to more than just a slap on the wrist. In both the […]
Every day on a construction site comes with a tight timeline, and there’s always a deadline on the horizon. When a key piece of equipment isn’t ready or breaks down mid-job, the ripple effect is immediate. Lost time, idle crews, delayed deliveries, it’s all avoidable with the right systems in place. It’s why more construction […]
