Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Light Duty Frequency

Answers to key questions about implementing light duty frequency schedules for mixed fleets.

Light duty vehicles typically include delivery vans, light trucks, and utility vehicles with a GVWR under 10,000 lbs, operating in standard conditions with regular maintenance needs.

Light duty schedules have longer intervals (e.g., 6,000 miles for oil changes) compared to severe duty frequency schedules, which require more frequent maintenance due to harsh conditions.

Light duty schedules reduce maintenance frequency, lowering costs by 15-20% compared to standard schedules, while preventing major repairs through proactive care.

Use digital tools to track maintenance, maintain detailed logs, and follow audit and compliance packs to meet DOT requirements.
