Why types of fleets use VIS-Check?

All fleets benefit from ensuring the brakes; steering and suspension on their vehicles are in good operating condition.

VIS-Check is being used by bus, transit, route, short haul, long haul, bulk haul and off-road fleets. 

How does VIS-Check lower fleet pennies-per-mile?

Fuel economy, tire life and brakes are compromised if undercarriage components are not in top working condition.

VIS-Check identifies vehicles that are operating below spec and guides maintenance to the specific issues affecting vehicle efficiency. 

Can VIS-Check detect high rolling resistance at a wheel end?

VIS-Check measures the rolling resistance at each wheel end and flags issues by wheel position as part of each brake test.

How do fleet drivers benefit from VIS-Check inspections?

Vehicles that have a regular VIS-Check inspection run straighter; ride smoother and brake better than those managed using conventional PMI activities.   

How does VIS-Check reduce overall fleet maintenance costs?

VIS-Check reduces maintenance costs by identifying small repairs before they become expensive roadside breakdowns.

VIS-Check also speeds PMI activities by automating undercarriage inspection procedures. 

How does using VIS-Check enhance fleet safety?

VIS-Check improves fleet safety by confirming brake performance at each wheel end.

Low brake force, air system issues, contaminated linings, poor brake balance and drums out of round are quickly identified by VIS-Check. 

How common is VIS-Check use by Fleets?

VIS-Check use by fleets is growing rapidly.

So much so that the Technology and Maintenance Council of the ATA has a work group developing a Recommended Best Practice for PBBT use by fleets.  

Does VIS-Check produce a record of each vehicle inspection?

Yes.  A VIS-Check Safety and Efficiency Report is automatically generated for each inspection to capture the maintenance items required for each vehicle. 

Does the use of VIS-Check offer fleets any other advantages?

Some insurance companies offer favorable consideration to fleets operating a PBBT.
