Winter prep for commercial trucks in Colorado

Winter prep for commercial trucks in Colorado is the difference between a truck that starts and pulls in January and one that strands you. The corridor weather turns fast. Here is what to handle before it does.

Batteries and charging

Cold kills weak batteries. Test the batteries and the charging system before the first hard freeze, not after a no-start. This is part of our electrical work.

Cooling and heating

Check the coolant condition and the cab heater. You want both right before winter, because finding out the heater is dead at 6 a.m. is a rough way to start a route.

Tires and traction

Check tread and pressure. Cold air drops your pressure and your grip at the same time, so this is worth doing early. A look at your tires takes a few minutes.

The plow

If you run a plow, service it in the fall, not during the first storm. Hydraulics, controls, and wear parts all want a look before the season. We handle Boss and SnowEx plows.

One visit covers it

The simplest move is a single preventive maintenance visit before winter that covers all of it at once.

Get your truck inspected and back to work.

Book a DOT inspection or call the shop. If it fails, we fix it here.
