SIMPLE MAINTENANCE TRACKER FOR OWNER OPERATORS
Prevent costly breakdowns and maintain perfect DOT compliance with digital maintenance tracking designed for independent truckers.
THE HIGH COST OF POOR MAINTENANCE TRACKING
Equipment breakdowns are one of the biggest threats to owner operator profitability:
Common Breakdown Costs:
• Heavy-duty towing services
• Emergency repair premiums (typically higher than scheduled maintenance)
• Lost revenue during downtime
• Load recovery or late delivery penalties
• Temporary lodging and meals
• Potential contract cancellations
Beyond immediate costs, poor maintenance tracking leads to:
• Premature component failure
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Lower resale value
• DOT violations and CSA points
• Higher insurance premiums
THE IMPORTANCE OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Modern commercial trucks require systematic maintenance tracking:
• Multiple fluid systems with different service intervals

• DOT-mandated inspection and documentation requirements
