First things first: there are three types of fleet maintenance workers: the mechanic, the driver, and the dispatcher. The mechanic is responsible for inspecting and repairing vehicles. They may also be responsible for ordering parts and keeping records of repairs.

Fleet maintenance is the practice of keeping company vehicles in good operating condition for safety, reliability, and longevity. It involves performing recommended periodic maintenance, replacing parts, and tracking asset history to avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Identify the maintenance tasks that each vehicle requires, including preventive maintenance, inspections, and repairs. Consider tasks such as oil changes, brake inspections, tire rotations, and fluid checks. Develop a maintenance schedule that outlines when each vehicle requires maintenance tasks.

Preventive maintenance actions include vehicle inspection, lubrication, adjustment, cleaning, testing, repair, and/or replacing worn parts, including spark plugs, an air filter, and even checking tire pressure. Ensuring you have a solid fleet maintenance plan is essential to effective public sector fleet management.

What is a company-provided vehicle (fleet) program? With a company-provided vehicle program, businesses provide their employees with a purchased or leased car to meet their driving needs. Companies can manage their fleets internally, or outsource to a fleet management company.

Fleet maintenance is the process of keeping all of your organization's vehicles in good working order so that they can be used safely and effectively.
