Hi  June 6-8 was the latest Nationwide Truck Inspection effort put forth by truck enforcement authorities.  The most common equipment issues are as follows:

1. Lights, not working.  All lights, including the extra ones, should be working.
2. Tires, not enough tread   4/32's on steer tires, 2/32's everywhere else. 
3. Fire extinguisher, discharged or not permanently mounted.
4. FHWA Inspection expired ( annual inspection of your truck and trailer, usually on a sticker)
5. Cargo, not properly secured or loaded. If you use chains they must be grade 70, the binders too.
6. Leaks, fuel, engine oil, gear lube, and axle seals.



I notice that brake adjustment is not on this list, so it seems the automatic slack adjusters are working.

Road Ready can fix all of the above items, and these and many more are part of our routine maintenance inspection we do when your unit is in our shop for service.  And, please remember we make recommendations, you the Customer decide on what gets done to your equipment.

Thanks for your business.

.The Carrier Safety measurement System is here.  Data compiled by the Federal Government makes up your fleet's SMS score and that covers several areas including "Vehicle Maintenance". Just one incident (where one of your vehicles gets noted for multiple violations and points) can stay with your fleet score for two years.  It pays to get equipment in good shape and get things fixed as soon as your are aware of a issue.  Our company is and has been poised to take care of all such problems .  With one call you can get quality, experienced tech out to your unit for mechanical and tire issues.  Authorities in this area are very familiar with our company and if questioned just say " Road Ready is on the way"...
