Here's a quick item you might find interesting.
We surveyed TMC members recently about what were their top 5 maintenance concerns that keep them up at night.
Of those responding (with 85 possible choices from which to select) these were the top five reported in decending order:
-- 19 percent said Parts Shortage/Availability was the #1 issue.
-- 14 percent said Technician Shortage
-- 9.5 percent said Aftertreatment
-- 9.5 percent said Cost Containment
-- 9.5 percent said New Equipment Availability (Trucks, Tractors, Trailers)
Eight other selections were given as top concerns, but these all garnered less than 5 percent.
The eight were:
ADAS
Crash costs
Diagnostics
Emissions/GHG
Reliability
Root Cause Analysis
Technician Staffing
Technician Training
