Truck Tech That Keeps Drivers Rolling
Send us Fan Mail
Trucking problems rarely show up with clean labels. A driver says “my box is broken” and what they really mean is a dead toll pass, a warning light they cannot name, or an APU that will not reset. We dig into how maintenance teams actually solve those issues remotely, and why the difference between chaos and clarity often comes down to better context, better tools, and better training.
We’re joined by Jimmy Mack from Hyfield's maintenance leadership and Eric B, who’s in the middle of onboarding and hands-on training in the yard. They share what changes when you stop relying on emails and guesswork and start climbing through real trucks, inspecting components, and learning the variations that matter. We talk APU troubleshooting across multiple brands, why “always off” is the rule for resets, and how short, truck-specific how-to videos can prevent repeat calls and prevent simple mistakes.
From there, we zoom out to the systems that keep drivers moving and reduce stress: Fleetio for preventive maintenance schedules, monthly VIR reporting, and catching small issues before they become DOT violations, plus Quo for recorded calls, searchable transcripts, and AI summaries that help with training, accountability, and staying aligned across maintenance, ops, and recruiting. We also cover driver quality-of-life tech like reliable Wi-Fi and internet-based TV, and we give a quick look at the Hyfield app features that centralize permits, settlements, accident reporting, document scanning, and referrals.
If you get value from practical fleet maintenance talk and real-world driver support systems, subscribe on your favorite podcast app, share this with a driver or fleet friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.
