The Real Cost of Skipping Preventive Maintenance on Your Commercial Truck

Here's a number that should get your attention: the average unplanned breakdown costs a trucking operation $760/hour in lost revenue — not counting the repair bill.


I've been running NH Repairs for years, specializing in heavy duty and medium duty truck & trailer service. And I can tell you with certainty: almost every catastrophic failure we see had a warning sign weeks before it happened.


A transmission that starts slipping. A coolant leak that gets ignored. Brake pads that just needed a look. Small things that become $8,000–$15,000 jobs when they fail on the highway.


The drivers and fleets that keep trucks running longest all do the same things:


  1. Stick to a PM schedule like religion — oil, filters, fluid levels on every interval

  2. Do a visual walk-around before every run

  3. Address unusual sounds, smells, or warning lights immediately — never "I'll check it after this load"

  4. Get DOT inspections done proactively, not reactively


The trucks that rack up 800k, 1M+ miles aren't special. They're just maintained.


If you're running trucks in New Hampshire and want a shop that actually tracks your maintenance schedule for you — that's exactly what we built the NH Repairs Fleet Maintenance Membership for. One flat monthly rate, priority service, and we handle the reminders.


Keep it moving.
