Service reminders by miles or date
Oil changes and inspections come due by the truck’s miles or the calendar, with what each service cost.
Step by step
- Open Maintenance and go to Add a rule.
- Choose the Truck, or leave The whole fleet. Type the Job (for example Oil & filter) and set Every N miles, Or every N days, or both. You can also set Warn N miles before and Warn N days before. Press Add rule.
- Open a truck by its number in Needs attention. Under Record the odometer, enter Miles and press Record reading. Drivers can also send it from their load under Odometer.
- When the work is done, use Record a service on the truck page: pick the Job, the Date and What was done, then press Record service. The clock for that job starts again.
- Needs attention lists what is Overdue, Due soon, Never done or Cannot tell.
A lower odometer reading is refused unless you say why in If it went backwards, why. Nothing is deleted: a correction voids the entry and leaves it in History. Also record as cost books a service’s cost into your numbers.
Set up first
Your service intervals and each truck’s last service.
Worth knowing
- Keep odometer readings current, or a miles reminder cannot know it is due.
- Maintenance shows which truck needs service next, by miles or by date.
- A rule is set once per truck, for example an oil change every 25,000 miles.
