Basics

Every Monday (or for a less aggressive schedule, the first Monday of every month) You Do THOROUGH Preventative Maintenance / “Fluids Checks” / Check Tire Pressure + Tire Condition of all Vehicles + Small Engine Equipment
- To an extent any Oil Fired Heaters could be lumped in with this as well
Goal is to maintain Readiness / Determine Issues with Equipment BEFORE they are needed/used on a job
- Although Pre-Trip Inspections are still good to do/related
- HOWEVER having a dedicated day allows it to not get missed when people “scramble” in emergencies/are late etc
An exception could POTENTIALLY be made for Sufficiently Stored / Winterized / Mothballed equipment, in sufficient Storage Conditions (Low Humidity, Mild Temperature (Swings), Low UV, Low Dust, etc), but even then some things such as Tires/Overall Condition may be worth investigating still

+*RE [[Fleet Management]] ,  but:
+**Check Fluids
+**Basic Visual Inspection
+**Check Overall “Cleanliness” (ie does it need an Exterior Car Wash and/or Internal (Cabin) Cleaning soon?)
+**Check Battery/Voltages
+**Check for [[Automotive Error Codes]] (Check Engine Light, etc)
+**If Relevant, Run Engine for 30 Minutes / Get Oil+Coolant up to temperature
+**A Shorter Warmup + Gentle Driving Around is advisable to also get [[Transmission Fluid]] Flowing/Up to Temperature
+***If Relevant Locking a [[Differential]] and checking the functionality of that is also advisable
+**Check All Headlights, Strobes, and Turn Signals
