Freight and trucking
Freight fleet management: fewer parked trucks, fewer loose documents
A parked tractor unit does not only cost the repair. It costs the load that did not move, the customer who rescheduled and the driver who lost the shift.
What makes a freight fleet different
Maintenance intervals on a heavy vehicle are not measured in kilometers alone. An engine that worked eight hours climbing a mountain road wears differently from one that covered the same distance on flat ground. Schedules by operating hour and by route condition matter as much as the odometer.
On top of that sits the paperwork. Beyond insurance and the annual safety inspection there is dispatch registration, the operating permit and documentation tied to the trailer. Each with its own date and its own owner.
Ruvi treats the heavy vehicle as its own class, with fields for capacity, axle configuration and specific schedules, instead of forcing it into a record designed for a passenger car.
What it solves in a freight operation
Schedules by mileage, date and hours
Components that wear by use, such as the hydraulic system or the gearbox, follow their own schedule rather than the odometer.
Vehicle and trailer documents
Each tractor unit and each trailer keeps its own expiry dates, because they almost never line up.
Fines assigned to the driver
The SIMIT lookup finds the fine and links it to whoever had the vehicle on that date, which is the awkward conversation currently settled from memory.
Cost per vehicle and per route
You see which units are drifting above average cost before the margin on the load disappears.
Roadside incident reporting
The driver documents the incident from a phone, offline if needed, and generates the PDF for the insurer.
Pre-trip inspection per shift
The checklist adapts to the heavy vehicle configuration and findings arrive as work orders.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work for mixed fleets of tractor units and light vehicles?
Yes. Each vehicle class carries its own schedules and fields, and they coexist in the same inventory and dashboard.
Does it integrate with the system I use for route planning?
Ruvi exposes an API on the Pro plan and above, which is the path to sync vehicles and mileage with an existing TMS or tracking system.
Can I register trailers as separate assets?
Yes. They are registered as units with their own documentation and schedules, and can be linked to the tractor unit that moves them.
