Fleet Management Solutions: Pre-Start Inspection to Regular Operations

Gone are the days when fleet management involved tedious tasks like manually maintaining a standard vehicle inspection checklist. Today’s fleets have a great opportunity at cutting corners by transitioning to a software system, like that offered by Safe Start Inspections Pty, Ltd. For instance, over-compensating on preventive maintenance (PM) can be avoided since such a software has tracking capabilities as a standard feature. Before, managers would typically observe the 3,000-mile standard in conducting PM, although such frequency is only recommended for vehicles that operate under really heavy duty. Automated monitoring and calculations can prevent overspending on maintenance. An effective information management tool can help track vehicle conditions starting at pre-start inspection. This will not only help make maintenance scheduling more efficient, it will also allow information to be accessed by anyone in the company who might need them.

Keeping Safe: Pre-Start Inspections and You

Save on the Safe Start Vehicle Inspection App from June 1 to July 31

A business fleet is only as good as its official overseer and the plans he has in place in order to maintain it. A fleet’s operating costs, number of breakdowns, and trips to the shop depend heavily on how that overseer nurtures the fleet, which means ensuring that all vehicles get their dose of adequate preventive maintenance. Fulfilling the abovementioned task the old-fashioned, paper-based way though, is not at all easy (not to mention completely inefficient). This is where Safe Start Inspections’ ingenious solution to streamlining an existing vehicle inspection checklist and all other related processes comes in.

How Paperless Inspections Benefit Truck Businesses

Many Australian trucking companies still rely on paper forms for their vehicle inspection records, but everyone knows how inconvenient they can be. Paper forms can be lost, damaged or filled out with inaccurate, incomplete or invalid data. You have to spend a great deal of time transcribing from the paper, encoding the data and double-checking for errors. You also need to file and archive them in a secure location even after transferring the data to electronic forms.

Vehicle Pre-Start Inspection Ensures Safety

Regardless of how much inspection your recently-bought vehicle underwent, it would still require vehicle safety checks by Australian authorities. Although your vehicle may be in good condition, regular safety checks will help you monitor its daily performance.

Requirements for a car safety certificate in Australia vary per state, but all of them cover basic parts of the vehicle such as windscreen, seats and seat belts, tyres, exhaust and emission controls. It’s also important to remember that only garages and workshops approved by the state transport department may conduct these inspections.

Press Release for Safe Start Forms

Safe Start Forms is an innovative new system that will allow the conversion of comprehensive internal documents into an online form. Any pre-start, checklist or certificate that currently works as a paper based system can now be transformed into a smartphone checklist and uploaded to a secure web database for storage and convenient perusal.

Ensuring Safety with Vehicle Inspections

Being on the road entails the possibility of disfiguring your car in a vehicular accident, or that the car will incur unexpected damages that will render it almost useless. These instances can have an effect on your bottom line, especially when you are using the vehicle or vehicles (in case of fleets) for business. It is important, then, to not only ensure that your driver will strictly adhere to traffic rules and regulations, but to also guarantee the functionality and safety of the vehicle itself by conducting a pre-start inspection.

Vehicle Inspection Checklist App Opening a New Hotline for Inquiries

How many instances did your trucks have to undergo heavy repairs and even replacements because of poor maintenance, or delayed inspection just meeting short-term production demands? If there are parts needing repair, are you able to religiously follow scheduled maintenance? Do you even keep track of your trucks’ repair whereabouts and refer to them for future inspection plans? Experienced operators know that the transportation business isn’t just about getting trucks on the road to deliver goods. Maintenance is in the priority list as negligence does not only cause delay in the operations, it also renders the company vulnerable to costs of damage repair that can significantly affect the business’ ability to thrive.

Common Trucking Mistakes to Avoid

As with all industries, the trucking sector comes with its own set of hazards. Here are some mistakes to watch out for when operating your fleet:

·         No definite maintenance schedule. Operators maximize the use of their fleets, even trying to run them 24/7 if possible, as well as procrastinating tire, oil, and brake jobs. This negligence can result into fatal accidents and a ruined reputation.
