Ryder Tech Tips
We know the value of sound Preventive Maintenance and proper repair procedures. Your fleet operation can save significant time and money by doing the right maintenance at the right intervals to prevent failures.
The maintenance schedules published by the vehicle manufacturer and your own breakdown record are a good place to start. Information is also available from the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration, the American Trucking Association and aftermarket manufacturers among other sources.
We have assembled information from our suppliers/manufacturers. These documents are intended to help manage your fleet repairs.
NOTE: Before beginning any repair or maintenance work, read and pay close attention to the following shop safety requirements:
- Ensure all required personal protective equipment is worn per shop policy,
- Remove vehicle ignition key and ensure lock out/tag out procedure is followed,
- Set the parking brake,
