What is a P.M.

To most Americans, the phrase P.M. usually means afternoon or evening. To some of the younger generations, they may even categorize the abbreviation as a way of electronic communication.

At Eagle Mark 4, the phrase is most commonly associated with a way to look into the future. Whether our customers refer to it as "periodic maintenance," "preventive maintenance," or "planned maintenance," we consider it to be a critical function of your operation.

So what does this mean?

Most equipment does not have an easy life. Drivers operate machines to the extent of their ability. Whether "funny noises" are being noticed or a headlight is not working correctly, typically, if it can start, it can work. This means some maintenance needs are "pushed back" on the priority list.

Here at Eagle Mark 4, we prefer a more proactive approach to performing maintenance. Whether this is monitored on a calendar basis or by the operating hour interval, we find it essential to have a structured program to keep the equipment up and running. As most consumers take their daily driver to the local oil change or repair center, it is not always that easy in the logistics and transportation industry.

Our experienced, trained technicians not only perform a standard oil change but also follow an extensive checklist outlining the major systems of your machine. Critical components are inspected and documented, from the steer tires to the drive tires. While this may not seem necessary, something as simple as a failed tie rod end can halt your operation. Towing charges, lost wages, or even a nasty phone call can cost money and even give your company a bad reputation.

Remember the old term, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease"?

Why wait for the squeak to happen? At Eagle Mark 4, we custom-tailor programs to fit the needs of any size fleet.
