Peterbilt maintenance quide

I am in search of documentation that I can use as a log sheet for regular maintenance on a Peterbilt 379. Something that a Pete service tech would use, etc.

I have two trucks and going to require drivers perform the daily/weekly/monthly maintenance and need some way for them to track and ensure things are being checked/serviced as needed.

 

I figured this is going to be a rough thing to keep track of. I am hoping my drivers are responsible and care about their job enough to do the things I ask of them. Frankly, if they aren't, I will find drivers who are.

I just created a doc for daily use that is part of their pre/post trip inspection. One driver signs at night and the next shift driver approves. This will serve two purposes, hopefully meet the requirements of DOT as pre-trip inspections as well as ensure things that need fixed are being address to allow safe operation of the vehicle.

Were planning on doing our own regular maint and it would be nice to have the same type of shop form that Pete uses when they do such a think. We have extended warranty on these trucks and I want to be sure we are doing the same thing Pete service techs would to not run the risk of "well you didnt maintain according to Pete schedule" when something major happens.

Might have to run out to the Pete dealer and see if they can give me something.

thanks for the response Admiral! This is all new to me and I appriciate the advice of from the veterans.

 

MNdriver, I will head over to those forums and check them out. Still fairly new here and trying to find my way around.

RoalinCoal and MN; Great idea. Black markers on the todo list for tomorrow.

 

lol, yea, I had to re-read the post after I searched the forum... Forms... Forum... all look the same!

 

Just checked the FMCSA book you pointed me towards. That works great for daily procedures.
