Spring has finally arrived! After months of battling cold weather, ice, and road salt, it’s time to give your fleet some much-needed attention. At GoRight, we know Canadian winters are tough on equipment, but with a little proactive maintenance, your fleet can roll smoothly into the warmer months.

🔋 Test Batteries & Electrical Connections Salt and moisture from winter roads can corrode battery terminals and plugs. Inspect and clean all connections, test battery charge levels, and make sure starters are working efficiently.

🛠️ Check Belts & Hoses Temperature swings take a toll on rubber components. Look for cracks, fraying, or wear on belts and hoses. Replacing them now helps avoid breakdowns when temperatures rise.

🛑 Inspect & Service Air Brakes Moisture buildup in the air brake system during winter can lead to internal corrosion. Inspect your valves and air lines, and replace air dryers annually to prevent brake issues when you need them most.

🔎 Look for Corrosion & Clean Thoroughly Road salt is notorious for causing rust. Inspect frames, undercarriages, and wheel hubs. Give your trucks a thorough wash and apply protective coatings where needed.
