Running Repairs

Running repairs are focused, practical fixes that keep your truck or trailer operational without turning a small issue into extended downtime. These repairs typically address problems that are noticeable during daily use, such as air leaks, warning lights, minor fluid leaks, vibration concerns, unusual noises, loose hardware, worn belts or hoses, failing batteries, lighting issues, and brake or suspension components that are approaching the end of service life. The objective is to restore safe operation quickly while preventing the issue from cascading into a larger failure.

Our process begins with a quick but careful assessment to confirm the root cause, not just the symptom. We inspect the surrounding systems, check for related wear or damage, and verify that the repair will hold up under real operating conditions. For example, when fixing an air leak, we do not stop at the first leak found. We check the air lines, fittings, valves, and routing points that commonly fail next. When addressing vibrations, we examine tires, wheels, driveline angles, wheel ends, and suspension joints to avoid repeat visits.

Running repairs are also a smart way to protect your schedule and your maintenance budget. We help you prioritize what must be repaired immediately for safety and compliance, what should be scheduled soon, and what can be monitored until the next planned service. This balance keeps your equipment reliable, reduces unexpected roadside events, and supports steady uptime for owner operators and fleets.
