Whether you're a long-haul trucker or you just use your sleeper truck for occasional trips, it's important to keep up with regular maintenance. After all, your truck is your livelihood, and you rely on it to get you from point A to point B. By following these simple tips, you can keep your sleeper truck in tip-top shape and avoid costly repairs down the road.

Check Your Tires Regularly

Your sleeper truck's tires are its number one safety feature, so it's important to check their pressure and tread depth regularly. The last thing you want is to be stranded on the side of the road with a blown-out tire. If you're not sure how to check your tires, most truck stops have air pressure gauges that you can use for free.

Change Your Oil

Just like with any other vehicle, it's important to change your sleeper truck's oil regularly. Most experts recommend changing the oil every 5,000 miles, but if you do a lot of stop-and-go driving or haul heavy loads, you might need to change your oil more often. Signs that it's time for an oil change include increased engine noise and decreased fuel efficiency.

Get Your Truck Serviced Regularly

In addition to changing your oil, it's also important to get your sleeper truck serviced on a regular basis. This usually means taking it in for an inspection and tune-up every few months or so. During a service appointment, a mechanic will check all your truck's major systems and components, including the engine, brakes, and suspension, to make sure everything is in working order.
