CMMS and EAM for fleets
Fleet Maintenance Software for Trucks, Trailers and Heavy Equipment
Most fleet software was built for vehicles. Your fleet is not only vehicles. It is tractors and trailers, service trucks and pickups, loaders, excavators, compressors and generators, spread across yards and job sites, with one shop trying to keep all of it legal and running. So the trucks end up in one system, the iron ends up on a whiteboard, and nobody can say what the whole fleet costs to keep on the road. OptiAM puts every unit on one hierarchy, one parts list and one schedule, whether it runs on miles, on engine hours or on condition. A unit sitting in the bay is not a repair bill. It is a load that did not move.
Reliability Centered Maintenance, the discipline used where a surprise failure is never acceptable. Works in the bay, in the yard, or on the shoulder with no signal. Rapid implementation, weeks not months.

The Repair Bill Is the Cheapest Part of a Breakdown
Most fleets still fix units after they break. Price out one failure and the parts and labor are the small line. Add the tow, the overtime, the rental, the driver on the clock, the customer you have to call and the inspection that goes on your safety record. Deferred maintenance does not go away. It picks its own time and place, and it is never your shop on a Tuesday.
The same repair costs three times more on the shoulder
A water pump replaced in your bay on a Tuesday is a routine job. The same water pump on the side of an interstate is a tow bill, a mobile tech at premium rate, a driver burning hours and a load that is now late.
Out-of-service violations stay on your record
A brake, light or tire violation at a roadside inspection does not just park the unit. It follows your safety record, where it shows up at insurance renewal and in the contracts you are allowed to bid.
Nobody can tell you what a unit actually costs
When repair history lives in invoices, text messages and a lead tech’s memory, you cannot tell rebuild from replace, you cannot recover the warranty you are owed, and you sell the unit for whatever the buyer says it is worth.
OptiAM® EAM Software
One System for the Trucks, the Iron and the Shop
OptiAM is enterprise asset management (EAM) and CMMS software built on Reliability Centered Maintenance. It was built for operations where a unit has to be ready the moment dispatch calls for it. Tractors and trailers, pickups and service trucks, loaders, excavators, compressors, generators and the shop equipment behind all of it sit on one hierarchy. Each one is scheduled the way it actually wears, by miles, by engine hours, by fuel burned or by condition reading, and the mobile app keeps working when the signal does not.
DOT Readiness & Compliance
Be Ready for the Inspection Before It Happens
Annual inspections and driver vehicle inspection reports are where most fleets lose the thread. A defect gets written up, the paperwork goes in a folder, and the unit rolls out the next morning with the same problem. OptiAM turns a reported defect into a tracked job with an owner and a due date, keeps every inspection time-stamped on the unit record, and shows you what is coming due while you can still schedule it.
- Annual and periodic inspections scheduled per unit, with the documentation attached to the asset
- Driver and operator defect reports become real work orders instead of a note in a folder
- Sign-offs by role, so a repair cannot be closed out until the person accountable for it signs it
- Time-stamped service and inspection history on every unit, ready for an auditor, an insurer or a customer
Parts, Shops and Service Trucks
Know What Is On the Shelf Before You Order It
Between the main shop, the satellite yards and the parts riding around in the back of the service trucks, the same filter is sitting in four places and nobody can see all four. So it gets ordered again with hot-shot freight on top, while the one you already own sits 40 miles up the road. OptiAM tracks stock by location, sets reorder points per site, and ties every part to the units it fits.
- Stock tracked by shop, yard and service truck, not one lump number
- Reorder points set per location, so each shop carries what it actually turns
- Parts tied to the units they fit, so the right filter comes up with the work order
- Move surplus between yards instead of buying it a second time

Class 8 tractors, straight trucks, dump trucks, mixers, vacuum and tank trucks, box vans, flatbeds, reefers, lowboys, pickups and service trucks.
Off-Road and Heavy Equipment
Loaders, excavators, dozers, backhoes, skid steers, telehandlers, cranes, boom and scissor lifts, forklifts, air compressors, light towers and generators.
Shop, Yard and Support Assets
Lifts and hoists, tire and alignment equipment, welders, wash bays, fuel islands and tanks, shop air, yard trailers, attachments and the building the shop runs out of.
Capabilities
Everything the Shop Touches, in One Place
Maintenance Optimizer
Service by Miles, Hours or Condition. Every unit gets the interval that fits how it works. A highway tractor on mileage, a yard loader on engine hours, a standby generator on run time and oil analysis. One calendar across a mixed fleet is how you end up over-servicing half of it and running the other half past due.
Work Order Manager
One Queue for the Shop, the Yard and the Road. Plan, assign and sign off work with parent and subordinate work orders, so a full engine job and every task under it stay tied together, and a roadside call does not end up living in somebody’s text thread.
Inventory Manager
Parts Across Every Shop and Service Truck. Track serialized and bulk stock by shop, yard and truck, set reorder points per location, and see what you already own before a purchase order goes out.
Asset Manager
One Record Per Unit, From VIN to Disposal. QR and RFID tags pull up VIN or serial number, make and model, warranty status, vendor and the full repair history right at the unit, on a phone, without walking back to the office.
Management Center
A Live View of Every Yard and Shop. One dashboard shows what is down, what is due and where the backlog is sitting across every location, so you can move a tech or reassign a unit before it turns into a missed load.
Task Developer
Procedures Your Techs Actually Follow. Build inspection checklists, standard repair procedures and lockout/tagout steps with photos and video, so a new hire and a 20-year tech close the same job the same way.
Fleet PM Intervals and What Should Actually Trigger Them
A mixed fleet does not run on one calendar. This is the starting point most fleets use, and the reason each one is set the way it is.
| Asset class | What the PM should trigger on | Common starting interval | What it costs when it slips |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class 8 tractor | Odometer miles, with a calendar backstop | 15,000 to 25,000 miles | A roadside breakdown, a tow bill and a late load |
| Van, flatbed and lowboy trailers | Calendar, plus the DOT annual | Every 6 months, annual inspection | Brake and light violations, out of service at the scale |
| Reefer unit | Engine hours | 1,500 to 2,000 hours | A temperature claim and rejected freight |
| Dump truck, mixer and vocational | Engine hours plus PTO time | 250 to 500 hours | A hydraulic failure in the middle of a pour or a haul |
| Pickups and service trucks | Odometer miles | 5,000 to 7,500 miles | A tech stranded and a second truck sent to get him |
| Wheel loader and excavator | Engine hours, with oil analysis | 250 to 500 hours | A job site stopped and a rental on the invoice |
| Skid steer and telehandler | Engine hours | Around 250 hours | A crew standing around waiting on one machine |
| Forklift | Key or engine hours | 200 to 250 hours | A dock backed up and trailers sitting |
| Shop air compressor | Run hours plus condition | 500 to 2,000 hours | Shop air down, so nothing pneumatic works |
| Standby generator | Run time plus a monthly exercise | Monthly exercise, annual load bank | Finding out it does not start during the outage |
These are common starting points, not a standard. Your real intervals come from the manufacturer, your duty cycle and your own failure history. That last part is what OptiAM keeps adjusting against as service records build, which is the difference between a PM program and a set of reminders.

Why Fleet Managers Pick OptiAM
Offline-first mobile that works in the bay, in the yard or on the shoulder with no signal
Built on RCM analytics, not a repair log, so the PM program gets tighter every year instead of staying whatever it was on day one
Trucks, trailers, heavy equipment and shop assets on one platform, with no asset limits
Rapid implementation, with your shop working in the system in weeks
Where OptiAM Fits Against What You Run Now
A spreadsheet is free until the first missed inspection. A vehicle-only app is fine until you add the loader, the compressor and the shop it all lives in. Here is the honest version.
| Capability | Spreadsheets and paper | Vehicle-only fleet app | OptiAM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Schedules by miles, engine hours and condition in one system | No | Miles and hours only | Yes |
| Covers trucks, heavy equipment, shop and facility assets | No | Vehicles, limited equipment | Yes |
| Full offline mobile in the yard or roadside | No | Varies by product | Yes |
| Parts stock by shop, yard and service truck | Manual | Limited | Yes |
| Parent and subordinate work orders for major jobs | No | No | Yes |
| DOT annual inspections and DVIR defect tracking | Manual | Yes | Yes |
| RCM analytics that adjust intervals off failure history | No | No | Yes |
| Cost per unit, per mile and per hour roll-ups | Manual | Yes | Yes |
| Unlimited sites and assets | Not applicable | Usually priced per asset | Yes, no per-asset fee |
| SaaS or installed on your own infrastructure | Not applicable | SaaS only | Both |
Vehicle-only fleet apps are good at vehicles. The column that matters is the one where your fleet stops being only vehicles.
Your Fleet Is Rarely the Only Thing You Maintain
Most fleets are attached to something bigger. The shop and the yard are buildings with their own HVAC, air compressors, lifts and fire systems. Behind that there is usually a plant, a pit or a route the fleet exists to serve. OptiAM runs the rolling stock and everything around it on one hierarchy, one parts list and one schedule, so the tractor, the yard loader and the shop air compressor are managed by the same rules. If the buildings are the harder half, start there: facilities and buildings, mining and aggregates, or government and public works.

Common Questions
What is the best fleet maintenance software for a mixed fleet?
The one your techs will actually use in the bay and in the yard. For a mixed fleet that means three things. It has to schedule by mileage, by engine hours and by condition in the same system, because a highway tractor and a yard loader do not wear the same way. It has to work offline, because a lot of the work happens where there is no signal. And it has to cover the assets that are not vehicles, the lifts, the compressors, the generators and the shop itself, or you are back to paying for two systems. OptiAM does all three, and it is built on Reliability Centered Maintenance, so the PM program tightens as repair history builds instead of staying whatever somebody set up the first year.
Does OptiAM work offline in the yard or on the road?
Yes. OptiAM GO is a progressive web app that runs fully offline on Apple and Android phones and tablets. A tech can open the unit record, work the inspection, log meter readings and attach photos in a yard or on the shoulder with no bars, and everything syncs the moment the device is back in range.
Can OptiAM schedule PMs by mileage and by engine hours?
Yes, and both at once across the same fleet. You set service on miles, on engine or run hours, on fuel burned, or on condition readings, unit by unit. Meter readings come in through the work order or at inspection and the PM triggers off actual use, so a truck that ran hard does not blow past its interval and a unit that sat all quarter does not get serviced for no reason.
Does OptiAM handle DOT annual inspections and DVIRs?
Yes. Annual and periodic inspections are scheduled per unit with the documentation stored on the asset record, so the file lives on the unit instead of in a drawer. Driver vehicle inspection reports and the defects that come off them become tracked work orders with an owner and a due date, and the inspection history stays time-stamped for as long as you need to keep it. OptiAM is the maintenance system of record, not an ELD or a driver log, so it sits alongside whatever you already use for hours of service.
What equipment can OptiAM manage?
Anything with a maintenance requirement, on road or off. On-road units like Class 8 tractors, trailers, dump trucks, mixers, vacuum and tank trucks, box vans, reefers, pickups and service trucks. Off-road and heavy equipment like loaders, excavators, dozers, backhoes, skid steers, telehandlers, cranes, boom and scissor lifts, forklifts, compressors, light towers and generators. And the support side, including lifts, tire equipment, welders, wash bays, fuel islands and the shop building itself. There is no asset limit.
Can drivers and operators submit defects and work requests?
Yes. Requests land in the same queue as planned work, so a driver who writes up a soft brake pedal or an operator who spots a hydraulic leak submits it from a phone and it shows up with everything else the shop is tracking. No separate inbox and no text message that gets buried. You see the request, the priority and the full history on that unit in one place.
How fast can we get OptiAM running?
Weeks, not months. You supply the unit list and the meter readings, we handle the build and the configuration. Most fleets are working live in the system within weeks, usually starting with one shop and rolling out to the other yards from there. We will walk through a rollout plan on the demo call.
Can OptiAM manage multiple yards and shops in one system?
Yes. OptiAM handles unlimited sites and assets on one platform. Every yard, shop and satellite location rolls up into one view, so you can see what is down and where the backlog sits across the whole fleet, then drill into a single unit. Permissions and reporting follow the same structure, so a shop foreman sees his location and the fleet manager sees all of them.
Is OptiAM cloud-based or installed?
Either. OptiAM runs as SaaS or installed on your own infrastructure, including government cloud, depending on what your IT setup and your policies call for.
How is OptiAM different from a fleet maintenance app?
A fleet maintenance app is usually a logbook with a reminder attached. It records what you did and tells you when a date comes around. OptiAM is an EAM platform built on Reliability Centered Maintenance and ISO 55000, so it uses the repair history you are already capturing to show which failure modes are actually costing you and to adjust intervals against real usage. It also covers the assets a vehicle-only tool leaves out, the lifts, the compressors, the generators, the yard equipment and the building, which is why fleets running both stop paying for two systems.
How do we get a fleet out of reactive maintenance?
Start by getting every unit and its meter reading into one place, including the ones nobody has been tracking. Pull in whatever repair history you have, even if it is a stack of invoices, and let the system build the PM program off real usage instead of memory. The first pass almost always turns up units off the books, warranty nobody claimed and parts you already own sitting in three locations. After that the work shifts from whatever broke this morning to what is scheduled next week, and the shop stops running on adrenaline.
Does OptiAM replace our telematics or GPS tracking?
No, and it is not meant to. Telematics tells you where a unit is and what the engine is reporting. OptiAM decides what to do about it and makes sure the work actually happens. Meter readings and fault data can be brought in so PMs trigger off real usage, and from there the work order, the parts, the labor and the history all live in one place. Most fleets keep their telematics and add OptiAM as the maintenance system of record.
How much does fleet maintenance software cost?
OptiAM starts at $500 a month. What a fleet pays depends on how many units and sites you run, how many users need access, and whether you want it hosted or installed on your own infrastructure. There is no per-asset charge, which matters on a mixed fleet where trailers, attachments and shop equipment can outnumber the trucks. We will put a real number on it during the demo call once we know what you run.
Can OptiAM track cost per unit, cost per mile or cost per hour?
Yes. Every work order carries its labor and its parts, and every unit carries its meter readings, so cost rolls up by unit, by class, by location or across the whole fleet, measured against miles or hours instead of just as a total. That is what turns the rebuild-or-replace argument into a number, and it is how you catch the unit that quietly costs twice what its sister unit costs.
