Press Release – (Cherryville, North Carolina, July 24, 2007) – FleetNet America, Inc. announces the recent expansion of its Managed Care (Total Maintenance Care) Department. This department, currently celebrating its two year anniversary, has increased its personnel by almost 300% in the last five months. Along with these personnel additions, FleetNet America, Inc. has expanded the services and information available on its Web site (fleetnetamerica.com). With a secure Web login, Managed Care customers are able to access information regarding their equipment in a variety of ways including per unit event histories and past and future preventative maintenance schedules. Customized functionality is also available, if needed.
Tom Newby, Director of Field Maintenance at Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. explains the benefit of Managed Care to his company: With our geographic expansion, Managed Care has really been an asset to Old Dominion. Because we only have 28 shop locations to support 188 service centers, there are times when our equipment can’t make it to an Old Dominion shop location for servicing. Finding and scheduling a reasonable and dependable service vendor can be difficult. FleetNet America’s Managed Care solves all of these issues. Plus, we can access information on our fleet from our Old Dominion Road Rescue / FleetNet America, virtual screen.
Shaw Energy Delivery Services’ Manager of Logistics & Warehousing, Dave Owens, states, We had a real mess when we left our previous provider. Many important maintenance details, including when equipment needed required inspections, were not being properly monitored. Since enrolling in the Managed Care program, the maintenance on our units is up-to-date with all necessary preventative maintenance and the associated paperwork. FleetNet handles all of our equipment scheduling, tracking and compliance issues. If I need to know something about a unit, it is available immediately on the Web or through a simple phone call.
FleetNet America’s Managed Care program provides management of scheduled commercial equipment maintenance. Through Managed Care, FleetNet provides all elements of a fleet equipment maintenance program including the establishment and oversight of preventative maintenance programs and the scheduling and tracking of annual Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) inspections.
FleetNet America, Inc. is a third-party vehicle maintenance company that coordinates scheduled and nonscheduled service to truck fleets, owner-operators, original equipment truck manufacturers and after-market equipment providers.
