FleetNet America said it has a cost-effective solution to a common problem that will become even more frequent with the full implementation of CSA. Many FleetNet customers utilize the company’s emergency roadside services and also have instances in which they need immediate assistance on a local level at their facility or a drop yard, the company said.

Beginning this month, FleetNet will initiate the handling of “simultaneous events,” which will allow customers to call FleetNet to dispatch, follow-up and pay third party mechanical vendors to handle multiple on-site events with all the specific customer accountability controls, VMRS coding, payment processing and other FleetNet functionality that comes with the company’s services at a lower “per occurrence” fee than typical emergency roadside events because of the dispatching of a single vendor for more than one repair performed at the same time. Simultaneous Events is a great cost savings solution for companies with facilities that do not have dedicated shops or mechanical personnel, according to the company.
    
FleetNet said it is committed to handling equipment maintenance requirements in a highly customized manner, based on the specific desires of its customers to continue to be fully compliant with CSA requirements.
    
Another remedy to meeting the CSA requirements is FleetNet’s TMcare program, in which customers have 24/7 online access to unit history files, inclusive of third-party vendor invoices and full accountability of PM and FHWA compliance. TMcare is an extension of a company’s fleet maintenance program and manages the fleet according to the customer’s specifications and current laws, thus becoming a true partner in managing fleet maintenance needs and keeping your equipment fully compliant, FleetNet said.
