The highest-value, highest-mileage asset in the fleet, and everything about it is scheduled on distance rather than dates. Brakes and aftertreatment generate the most downtime; oil analysis gives the most warning per dollar spent.
ChatterFix builds these as child assets under tractor unit, so failure history and PM completions attach to the component that actually failed — not just to the machine.
The failure modes worth designing a maintenance schedule around — in rough order of what they cost when they happen.
Recording that a PM was "done" tells you nothing next quarter. These are the readings that let you see a failure coming — and the reason ChatterFix captures measurements against the asset rather than just completions.
The parts whose absence turns a short repair into a long outage.
The PMs ChatterFix schedules against this equipment, with intervals and time estimates.
