Fleet Maintenance News Updates

How Electrification is Rewriting the Rules for Mobile Hydraulic Power : As electrification reshapes the commercial trucking industry, vocational fleets face a unique engineering challenge: how to efficiently power auxiliary hydraulic functions such as dumping and lifting. In this RoadSigns Extended Cut, Eaton Mobile Power Group's Brad Gulick explores the operational shifts, maintenance realities and technological compromises that define the modern vocational truck.

Rising replacement costs are forcing fleets to rethink long-held maintenance assumptions. This whitepaper reveals how operating conditions—not equipment type alone—shape aftertreatment performance, reliability, and total lifecycle cost.

Amerit Fleet Solutions expanded its fleet maintenance network through the acquisitions of Kirk NationaLease and Truck & Trailer Parts Solutions.

Formal certification programs are increasingly seen as a competitive necessity in an era of connected vehicles, advanced diagnostics and heightened legal scrutiny.

What Every Fleet Needs to Know About AMT Maintenance: Eaton’s Jason Denardo and Leah Bogle break down what fleet maintenance leaders need to know right now: why diagnostics must come before parts replacement, how the technician shortage raises the stakes on training and standardization, and what fleets can do in the next 30 days to reduce downtime, regardless of where the right-to-repair debate lands.

Why Fleets Are Shifting to Hybrid Models: In this RoadSigns Extended Cut, Kevin Clark, associate vice president of dedicated solutions at Cox Fleet, explores the evolution of hybrid maintenance models. Discover why fleets are moving away from fully in-house or fully outsourced approaches, how to execute seamless repair handoffs and what mindset shift leaders need to orchestrate a successful maintenance ecosystem.

Amerit Fleet Solutions said it acquired Pro Reefer, a Canadian fleet maintenance provider that specializes in refrigerated trailer equipment.

Artificial intelligence is driving tangible improvements in fleet maintenance operations, including predicting parts failures and analyzing performance data.

DPF issues in LTL fleets rarely stay isolated, driving downtime, fuel waste, and disruption. Many fleets still rely on standardized intervals instead of aligning with real duty cycles— a gap Ceramex solves through data-aligned strategies and validated restoration.

Fleets are increasingly adopting connected trailer technology for real-time monitoring, better trailer health visibility and to diagnose and address problems early.
