Keeping Your Delivery Vehicle in Top Shape

And it’s amazing how much a little preventive maintenance can save us down the road. I recently had to swap out brake pads on one of our delivery vans that was showing wear after just 30,000 miles. Regular checks can prevent those unexpected breakdowns and lost delivery time. What maintenance routines do you all follow to keep your vehicles running smoothly?

I totally get that about delivery time. I always make it a point to check tire pressure weekly — it can make a huge difference in fuel efficiency. What specific checks do you prioritize?
