Fleet Maintenance Checklist for Tri-State Diesel Fleets

If your business relies on diesel trucks for deliveries, construction, or service calls, keeping those vehicles running smoothly isn’t optional—it’s essential. Downtime costs money. That’s why having a proactive fleet maintenance plan is crucial.

At Kash Diesel & Auto, we help businesses across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware reduce breakdowns and maximize uptime with expert diesel fleet maintenance. Here’s your go-to checklist for keeping your fleet reliable, compliant, and road-ready.



Why Fleet Maintenance Is Non-Negotiable

Fleet trucks do more than rack up miles—they operate in tough environments. Delaying service means risking:

  • Costly breakdowns and emergency repairs
  • Missed deadlines and lost contracts
  • Safety violations and DOT fines
  • Reduced fuel economy and engine lifespan

A structured maintenance schedule keeps everything on track.

  • Look for leaks under the truck
  • Test all exterior lights
  • Check for warning lights on the dash


Monthly Fleet Maintenance Tasks

  • Oil and filter check (or change for high-mileage vehicles)
  • Brake pad and rotor inspection
  • DEF level and system check
  • Air filter inspection
  • Transmission fluid check
  • Battery health test


Quarterly or 10,000–15,000 Miles

  • Full engine diagnostic scan
