Essential Semi Truck and Trailer Service for Fleet Safety

Introduction to Semi Truck and Trailer Service

At AAA Truck & Trailer Services, we know that keeping your fleet running isn’t just about repairs—it’s about preventing downtime, reducing liability, and keeping drivers safe on the road. Regular maintenance and timely repairs don’t just extend the life of your trucks—they directly impact safety, compliance, and your bottom line.

Importance of Regular Maintenance

Key Maintenance Factors That Impact Fleet Safety:

Preventing Accidents: Well-maintained brakes, tires, and suspension systems improve vehicle control, reducing the risk of collisions and rollovers. According to the FMCSA, brake system failures contribute to nearly 30% of all large truck crashes (FMCSA).

Truck Parking Challenges & Safety Risks: A shortage of safe truck parking is a growing concern, forcing 70% of drivers to park in unauthorized or unsafe locations at least once a week (ATRI). Insufficient parking leads to increased fatigue, higher risks of cargo theft, and trucks being parked in hazardous locations, creating dangers for both drivers and other motorists.

Mitigating Road Debris Hazards: Road debris causes thousands of accidents annually. Between 2011 and 2014, debris-related crashes resulted in approximately 125 deaths each year (AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety). Proper vehicle maintenance helps prevent issues like tire blowouts and unsecured cargo, which are major contributors to roadway debris.
