Deliveries Are at An All-Time High! Is Your Fleet Ready?

More and more people are shopping online these days, and deliveries are at an all-time high. If you have a fleet of delivery vans, we here at Ideal Automotive can help you keep them on the road safe and reliable. Imagine what your business would be if your vans were constantly in the shop for repairs. Your delivery business is only as good as your vehicles and their drivers.

Van Safety

Perhaps even more important than reliability is safety. One thing that can sink your business completely is a lawsuit resulting from an automobile accident of which one of your delivery vehicles was faulted. Preventative maintenance ensures that automobiles are as safe as they can be when they’re on the roads. This helps prevent accidents as well as breakdowns. Something as simple as replacing the brake pads when they need it can help a driver stop a delivery van on a dime.

Van Reliability

Naturally, you need your delivery vans to be reliable. You cannot afford to have a van go out of service for even one day. This not only eats into your profits but also cuts into your bottom line when you have to pay for the repairs. If you take a moment to calculate how much money each van makes per day, you’ll see what we’re talking about. Maintaining your fleet vehicles ensures that they are reliable whenever your drivers get behind the wheels.

Driver Satisfaction

This boosts driver satisfaction, which cannot be overstated. As the saying goes, happy employees are productive employees, and this includes all of your delivery drivers. These drivers are under stress to deliver as many packages per day as possible without error. If they are distracted because they are worried about their vans, you’ll end up with unhappy drivers and customers. Your drivers must be able to rely on your vans.

Preventative Maintenance

We understand that you see a theme here, but there is a reason why. Any vehicle, whether a fleet vehicle or your personal one, needs to be maintained. Vehicle manufacturers create factory-scheduled service recommendations to ensure that their automobiles run as if they were new even though they are not. It’s less expensive to replace small parts than it is to replace entire systems. Preventative maintenance really does save you money.
