Why Truck Repair and Service Is So Important

Tu camión is not just a machine. It is your hard worker. If you take care of it, it will take care of you! Here’s why you should keep your heavy-duty truck maintenance schedule:

• Safety First: A well-serviced truck keeps you safe on the road.
• More Work, Fewer Stops: Good service means fewer breakdowns and more work done.
• Ahorra dinero: Little fixes now stop big, costly repairs later.
• Follow the Law: You must meet the DOT inspection rules to drive your camión.

What Makes Your Truck Work?

Tu camión has many parts. All these parts must work together. If one part is tired, your camión may stop working. Here are key systems you need to know:

The Engine and Power

• Diesel Engine: This makes your truck move.
• Transmission: Switches gears to help your truck go up and down hills.
• Drive Axle: Moves power to the wheels.

Brakes and Suspension

• Brake System (Air or Hydraulic Brakes): Stops your truck safely.
• Foundation Brakes: The main working parts of your brakes.
• Suspension System: Gives your truck a soft, smooth ride.

Electric and Comfort

• Electrical System (Lights, Battery, Wiring): Powers everything.
• HVAC system: Keeps you cool or warm.
• Wheels and Tires: Roll your truck on every road.

If you run a special vehicle like a camión cisterna o camión hormigonera, you also have special parts to check!

How Can You Stop Breakdowns?

Where To Go

• Dealerships: Good for new trucks and parts.
• Independent Shops: May cost less, sometimes faster.
• Mobile Truck Repair: Repairs on the spot.
• Fleet Service Centers: If you run many trucks, these keep your fleet working.

Pick a shop with:

• Good Reviews
• Right Certifications
• Experience with your truck (Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo, Mack, International, Ford, Chevrolet, RAM, etc.)

How Much Will It Cost?

Here’s what you need to know about costs:

• Labor rates: $100 – $180+ per hour
• OEM Parts: Made by the truck company.
• Aftermarket Parts: Cheaper, but may not fit as well.
• Remanufactured Parts: Used parts fixed to work like new.

Tip: Planning regular service saves big bucks in the long run. Trucks with preventative care get up to 30% longer life and fewer breakdowns.

What About Inspections and Records?

You must have a DOT inspection. Here is what they check:

• Brakes
• Luces
• Tires
• Frame

If you pass, you can work. If you fail, your truck is off the road!

Record Keeping: Write down:

• All repairs
• All oil changes
• All inspections

This helps you when selling or fixing your truck later. Use logs or truck repair software.
