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, […]
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 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, […]

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 […]
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 […]
In the world of fleet maintenance and compliance, spreadsheets have long been a default tool. They’re familiar, flexible, and seemingly low-cost. But for growing fleets and regulated operations, that familiarity masks a serious problem: spreadsheets are silently introducing risk. Not just operational inefficiency or missed maintenance tasks, but genuine compliance risk that can cost businesses […]
