How Fleetworthy Helps Manage Preventive Maintenance

1. Centralized Maintenance Schedules

Fleetworthy creates and maintains a digital profile for each vehicle that includes manufacturer-recommended service intervals, regulatory maintenance requirements (such as DOT inspections), and your company’s custom PM protocols. These schedules are tied to real-time mileage, engine hours, and calendar-based tracking to ensure timely service.

2. Automated Alerts and Notifications

The system sends automated alerts to fleet managers, maintenance personnel, and operations teams when service is coming due. These alerts can be configured based on mileage thresholds, time intervals, or both. For example, if a truck requires an oil change every 15,000 miles or quarterly, the system will notify stakeholders before that threshold is reached.

3. Integration with Telematics and ELD Systems

Fleetworthy integrates with telematics providers and electronic logging devices (ELDs) to pull real-time data such as mileage, engine hours, and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). This allows maintenance schedules to be based on actual vehicle usage rather than estimates, improving accuracy and reliability.

4. Work Order and Repair Tracking

The platform allows you to track completed maintenance, open work orders, and deferred repairs. Every maintenance task is documented, timestamped, and stored in the vehicle’s history, creating a full audit trail that is essential for DOT compliance and internal accountability.

5. Compliance with DOT and FMCSA Standards

Fleetworthy ensures all preventive maintenance is aligned with federal regulations, such as those outlined in 49 CFR Part 396. This includes tracking and documenting annual inspections, brake system maintenance, tire checks, and other critical service areas that are often reviewed during audits or roadside inspections.

6. Visibility and Reporting

Fleet managers can use real-time dashboards and customizable reports to view the maintenance status of every vehicle. Whether you manage 50 vehicles or 5,000, you’ll know exactly which units are up to date, which need attention, and which are overdue.
