For today's Message from Leadership, we hear from Chris Cotton, VP of Maintenance.

"In fleet maintenance, safety and quality are directly connected.

Most serious incidents are not caused by a lack of knowledge, they often come from rushing, complacency, distractions, or small shortcuts that compound over time.

That’s why operational discipline matters:
• Following SOPs
• Performing proper QC
• Using the right tools
• Slowing down and paying attention
• Executing repairs correctly the first time

At TEN, we continue focusing on building a culture where safety, accountability, and quality are part of every repair and every interaction. Through technician training, leadership development, standardized processes, and reinforcing the importance of doing the job right the first time, we are working to create an environment where our teams feel empowered to speak up, identify hazards, and take pride in their work.

We are also continuing to invest heavily in the future of our maintenance operations through the development of an advanced training center designed to support technician growth, hands-on learning, and leadership development across our organization. In addition, we are expanding our mobile maintenance capabilities with the addition of 50 new mobile service trucks to our existing fleet of 100, allowing us to better support customers while improving response times, uptime, and service consistency across North America.

At the end of the day, the safety of the motoring public, our customers, and our employees will always remain our highest priority."

Precooling a re**er trailer in high temperatures is essential for protecting product integrity and ensuring efficient operations. Here’s why it matters:

Prevents Thermal Shock: Loading cold or frozen goods into a hot trailer causes immediate heat transfer. This can compromise product quality before the trip even begins.

Stabilizes Internal Environment: High ambient temperatures can heat the trailer’s walls, floor, and ceiling. Precooling ensures the entire interior is at the correct temperature, reducing the risk of spoilage.

Reduces Engine Run Time During Transit: Starting with a properly cooled trailer means the refrigeration unit doesn’t have to work as hard to bring temperatures down while en route, which saves fuel and reduces wear on the system.

Ensures Compliance and Safety: Many food safety protocols require trailers to be at the correct temperature before loading. Skipping this step can lead to rejected loads or regulatory issues.

Acts as a System Check: Precooling also confirms that the re**er unit is functioning properly before loading, helping avoid costly surprises later.

Every trailer has a lifecycle, and knowing what to expect at each stage is key to keeping fleets safe, efficient, and cost-effective.

From early-use inspections to mid-life component replacements and long-term structural maintenance, proactive care helps reduce downtime and extend equipment life.

At TEN, we focus on preventive maintenance strategies that help fleets stay ahead of issues, not react to them.
