Refuse truck preventive maintenance

Schedule Maintenance by Mileage, Engine Hours or Time

Stop-and-go collection trucks can accumulate heavy engine and equipment use without covering high mileage. Simply Fleet lets you schedule preventive maintenance using the trigger that best reflects how each truck or asset is actually used.

Use engine hours for trucks with heavy idle and auxiliary-equipment use. Track service around running time when mileage alone does not reflect truck use.
Use mileage for road use. Keep chassis and road-service schedules current as the truck accumulates miles.
Use time for recurring calendar work. Schedule maintenance that needs to happen by day, month or year.
Move due service into the shop. Configured PM reminders can automatically create work orders when maintenance becomes due.

Telematics-fed maintenance

Use Telematics Data to Catch Maintenance Needs Earlier

Supported telematics integrations can sync odometer and fault-code data into Simply Fleet, depending on the provider and asset, so maintenance teams can act on current usage and vehicle faults without relying only on manual updates.

Keep mileage-based PM current. Synced odometer readings can feed maintenance schedules without repeated meter entry.
Bring fault codes into the maintenance workflow. Supported fault-code data can create earlier visibility into issues that may need action.

FAQ

Waste Management Fleet Software FAQs

Can Simply Fleet manage preventive maintenance for refuse trucks?

Yes. Schedule preventive maintenance by mileage, engine hours, time, or a combination that matches how the truck is serviced.

Why are engine hours useful for garbage truck maintenance?

Collection trucks can spend significant time idling and operating auxiliary equipment while covering relatively low mileage. Engine-hour schedules provide another way to trigger maintenance based on actual use.

Can pre-route inspection defects become repair work orders?

Yes. A failed inspection item can create an issue tied to the truck. A manager can review the defect and create a work order when repair work is required, while inspection and maintenance records stay organized with the truck.

Can Simply Fleet track parts used on refuse truck repairs?

Yes. Parts inventory can be tracked by quantity, location, cost and other details, and parts used can be recorded against the work order.

Can telematics data feed waste fleet maintenance workflows?

Supported integrations can sync available odometer and fault-code data into Simply Fleet. The exact data available depends on the connected provider and asset.

Can I see fuel, repair and maintenance costs by truck?

Yes. Fuel, expenses, service history and repair records can stay tied to the truck so managers can review what individual units are costing to operate.
