Summer is a busy season for the trucking industry, and the rising temperatures can take a toll on your fleet if you’re not prepared. At STS Truck Services, we specialize in helping our customers prepare for the demands of hot weather, ensuring their trucks run safely, reliably, and efficiently through the season.
Here’s what you need to know to keep your heavy-duty truck cool, comfortable, and on the road:
1. Tire Safety in the Heat
As the mercury rises, so does your tire pressure. Heat increases air pressure, which can cause premature wear, uneven tread, and dangerous blowouts. Our technicians check inflation, balance tires, and inspect for wear to extend tire life and keep you rolling safely.
2. Battery & Charging System Health
Summer heat accelerates battery corrosion and reduces charge capacity. We’ll test your battery, clean terminals, and inspect your alternator and starter to ensure your truck starts strong—every time.
3. Engine Oil in High Temperatures
Hot weather thins oil faster, risking increased engine friction and wear. We check oil levels, inspect condition, and recommend the correct oil grade to protect your engine in extreme heat.
4. Professional Air Conditioning Service
A properly working A/C system is critical for driver comfort. We don’t just top it off with refrigerant—we inspect the compressor, evaporator, condenser, and lines. We charge your A/C system accurately and safely to ensure optimal performance.
5. Cooling System Check & Correct Coolant
Your engine’s cooling system is under extra stress in summer. Our techs inspect the radiator, pressure test the system, and flush and refill with OEM-approved coolant. We help you choose the correct type to prevent contamination and system failure.
6. Preventative Maintenance Saves You Money
Sticking to manufacturer-recommended service intervals ensures your equipment operates efficiently and lasts longer. Don’t let small issues become big repairs during peak operating months.
