Maintenance issues are the number one reason many owner operators fail. Having a preventative maintenance program is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your business success. Start your PM program when you buy your truck and get to know every inch of your truck. Establish a preventative maintenance schedule based on your operations and budget.
