The Most Common Seen Causes of Truck Breakdowns (Part 2)

Truck repair costs are undoubtedly something that truck-operating businesses are well acquainted with. Therefore, a breakdown can be a significantly more expensive occurrence and undoubtedly affect the bottom line of your business. So, what are the top breakdown causes?

Electrical Issues

Typical electrical problems involve the alternator, the starter motor, or the battery. When attempting to start the engine, drivers may observe flashing headlights and/or hear clicking sounds, which could indicate a deceased battery or electrical issues.

Overheating

An assortment of issues may contribute to overheating. There could be a malfunctioning thermometer, leaking coolant or a damaged radiator cap. Similar to other fleet vehicle problems, identifying the precise cause of overheating can be challenging. Performing diagnostics or a professional inspection of the vehicle can assist in identifying the root cause.

Broken Clutch

Fleet drivers spend countless hours on the road. The accumulation of those countless hours causes significant wear and tear over time, ultimately leading to complications with numerous components of the vehicle. Over time, the clutch is a component of the vehicle that frequently fails.
