One-call solution for spill response, emergency repairs and 24-hour towing in Spokane
When a commercial vehicle develops a leak, the situation can be stressful. A truck or trailer may be stranded on the road, an environmental spill may be developing, and the operator may need to coordinate towing, repairs, and cleanup at the same time.
Pro-Enviro by FleetEasy offers complete fleet services to make things easier for drivers and fleet managers in Spokane. One call can connect you with spill containment and cleanup, on-site mechanical repairs, and 24-hour towing. This coordinated approach can save valuable time, especially when a spill is a possibility.
Fortunately, a FleetEasy technician can help identify and contain a leak before it becomes a larger spill. And when a spill happens, Pro-Enviro can handle the environmental cleanup.
A Leaking Trailer Wheel Creates a Potential Spill
Recently, a transport trailer developed an oil leak around one wheel. It needed a tow, but the driver didn’t want to spill oil from the inner wheel seal or cap gasket in transit. It wouldn’t have caused a disaster-level spill, as the fluid volume in a wheel hub is pretty small. But it could spray oil everywhere as the wheel spun, which is still bad for the environment and can cause a mess.
Our operator contained the spill by plugging it. The spill was fully contained, so the trailer could be towed to the customer’s destination without flinging oil everywhere or leaving stains on the pavement. It also prevented the hub from draining out entirely, so the bearings could stay lubricated.
Department of Transportation inspectors see wheel hub leaks as a safety violation. This is because it can cause big issues if it completely dries out. Bearings dry out, and high-speed friction creates intense heat. It can cause the bearings to weld together or even catch fire. In worst-case scenarios, the dual-wheel assembly can separate from the axle spindle in transit.
Pro-Enviro Cleans the Mess - FleetEasy Technicians Can Fix the Problem
One advantage of working with Pro-Enviro by FleetEasy is access to on-site fleet service technicians who understand commercial vehicles and the challenges fleet operators face.
