Fleet maintenance at WTM Logistics is how reliability is built before trucks leave the yard. A breakdown on the road is a failed delivery — and in the Peace Region, where distances between services are long, breakdowns are costlier than in urban areas.

The trucks that move WTM freight include 5-ton straight trucks, sprinter vans, flat decks, and hotshot units. Each vehicle class has its own maintenance schedule.

What does fleet maintenance include?

Preventive maintenance — oil changes, tire inspections, brake checks, fluid levels on a fixed schedule.

Seasonal preparation — winter tires, block heaters, battery checks before cold weather hits.

Post-trip inspections — drivers report issues before they become failures.

Repair tracking — maintenance history for every vehicle in the fleet.

How does maintenance affect delivery reliability?

Every hour a truck is in the shop is an hour it is not delivering freight. The goal is planned maintenance that happens when trucks would otherwise be idle — not unplanned repairs on the side of Highway 43.

How does winter change maintenance?

Winter is the hardest season on Peace Region trucks. Extreme cold stresses batteries, thickens fluids, and makes every mechanical weakness worse. WTM prepares vehicles for winter before the temperature drops — not after the first breakdown.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does WTM keep trucks running in winter?

WTM prepares vehicles for winter before the season starts — winter tires, block heaters, battery checks, and winter-grade fluids.

What happens if a WTM truck breaks down during delivery?

WTM dispatch coordinates a replacement vehicle and communicates proactively with the customer about the revised delivery window.

Does WTM maintain its own fleet?

Yes. WTM runs its own fleet — 5-ton trucks, flat decks, and sprinter vans — with maintenance tracked for every vehicle.
