Tailored calendar-based triggers for consistent and reliable fleet maintenance.

Understanding Triggers

What is a Calendar Trigger Table?

A calendar trigger table is a structured schedule that dictates when preventive maintenance tasks should be performed based on fixed time intervals, ensuring consistent upkeep of heavy vehicles under Schedule B protocols.

Unlike mileage-based triggers or hour-based triggers, calendar triggers are ideal for fleets with predictable operational cycles or those operating in environments where time-based maintenance is more practical, such as severe duty conditions.
