Lorry Maintenance and Tyre Records
Workshop jobs and tyre changes are logged against the lorry at the reading they happened. The next service is known from the reading, not from memory.
What a workshop job holds
Tyres by wheel position
A tyre is fitted at a position on the lorry, and that is how it is recorded. The record holds the make, size, whether it is new or retreaded, the reading at fitting and the reading when it came off. Rotations between positions are entered as they are done. A tyre sent for retreading is followed until it comes back and is fitted again.
Who works from this
What your workshop decides
- Service intervals by kilometres or by months for each body type
- Whether a store of spares is kept and who issues from it
- Which outside garages you send work to
- How wheel positions are numbered on your lorries
What this module does not do
It does not diagnose a fault. A mechanic looks at the lorry and writes what he found. There is no reading taken from the vehicle unless a telematics device is fitted and connected, and warranty on a part is between you and the dealer who sold it.
Frequently asked questions
Can a breakdown on the road be logged by the driver?
Yes. He opens a job from his phone with what happened and what the roadside mechanic charged. The office reads it straight away.
How is a retreaded tyre tracked?
It keeps its own record through retreading. The kilometres it ran before and after can then be read together, which is how a transporter judges whether a retread was worth the money.
Do spares have to be kept in the system?
No. A firm that buys parts as needed can simply record the purchase against the job and the lorry.
Will it tell us when a service is due?
Yes. A lorry nearing its next service reading or date appears on the workshop list for the in-charge to act on.
