Spend More Time With Your Customers and Less Time With Your Problems

Ever wonder how you can spend less time on the same set of day-to-day problems and more time enabling your customers to meet their objectives? It may seem obvious to say you first need to improve your operational efficiency. Easier said than done, right?

Do any of the following daily headaches sound familiar? - Roll time – what if you could count on average roll times below the industry standard? What does that mean to your reputation with your customers? - Invoice processing time – How much time do you spend chasing invoices? What could you do with the extra time you gain if you could turn the invoices around quickly and reliably? - Billing error rates – How many times do you have to deal with a single invoice? What are your experiences and expectations relative to billing error rates? - Compliance – Are your dealers following your guidelines and specifications?

During this webinar, you’ll hear first-hand observations on ways fleets can take back control of how they spend their time by focusing on: • Sustainability • Risk Mitigation • Lowering costs

Swinger gladhands were designed to help eliminate damage due to pull-away or tight/jackknife turns, and to reduce impact where straight or angled gladhands are exposed to damage. They also reduce wear on your air lines by following the movement of the tractor, reducing the bending and flexing at the tractor gladhand.

To keep swinger gladhands in good working order, preventative maintenance should be performed every three to six months, or at each scheduled preventative maintenance interval.
