Community Playbook: Cutting Fleet Downtime with Smarter Maintenance

Looking for concrete, peer-tested playbooks your shop uses to reduce unplanned downtime and repair spend. Share first-hand details only — specific tactics, tools, workflows, and measurable results. Please include:

- Fleet size and vehicle types (e.g., 85 box trucks, 40 pickup/service vehicles)
- Maintenance, telematics, or CMMS platforms (names, versions, key integrations)
- KPIs you monitor (uptime %, MTTR, MTBF, cost per mile, % preventive vs reactive, etc.)
- Scheduling, inspection, and parts-management workflows (who triggers work, cadence, spares policy, parts reorder rules)
- One template or checklist you swear by (paste the checklist or describe exact steps/triggers)
- A measurable result tied to the change (hours saved, $ saved, % downtime reduction, time-to-repair improvement)
- In-house vs outsourced decision: when you chose one over the other, why, and the real trade-offs (costs, control, scalability, quality)

Add dates and baseline numbers where possible. Templates, KPI CSVs, or screenshots are welcome. I’ll compile top replies into a short, vendor-neutral community playbook with attribution to contributors.
