Fleets running out of Brampton and Mississauga face a constant balancing act: keep trucks moving freight through the GTA and along Highway 401 and the 407 corridor, while still finding time to get preventive maintenance done.

What a Yard PM Visit Actually Covers

On tractors, that means inspecting brake components, checking wheel-ends for play or heat, verifying belts and fluid levels, testing batteries and charging systems, and confirming lights and DOT-required equipment. On trailers, PM checks focus on brake adjustment, suspension, landing gear, door seals, lighting, and tires.

Why Yard-Based PM Reduces Roadside Breakdowns

Most roadside calls we get on the 401, 400, and QEW trace back to something that was visible days or weeks earlier. Catching those issues during a scheduled yard visit is far cheaper than a breakdown call at 2 a.m.

Structuring a PM Program Across a Multi-Unit Fleet

Stagger units by mileage so PM intervals don't all fall due in the same week, keep a simple log per unit, and align PM timing with seasonal needs.
