Hydraulics in trucking means essentials like Fuel Conveyance, Braking, Steering, Cooling…This isn’t just another component; it’s the powerhouse behind the scenes.
For sales reps venturing through the trucking and transportation industry, mastering hydraulics is not just beneficial—it’s your golden ticket.
Here’s how:
Understand Your Clients’ Pains
- Fuel Fiascos: Fuel is one of the most significant expenses in this industry. Now imagine your clients’ trucks guzzling fuel like there’s no tomorrow—all because of low-quality products. Not the best scenario, Eh? A tiny leak (1/8 inch) can lead to a 5% fuel efficiency drop. Switching to quality hoses and fittings isn’t just smart; it’s a game-changer.
- Downtime Dilemmas: Nobody likes unexpected pit stops, especially your clients. When a hose gives out, it’s not just an inconvenience; it’s a financial hit. The National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) puts the average cost of a single hose failure at about $2,500, factoring in repairs and downtime. That’s a hefty price for something preventable with the right parts.
- Safety Standoff: Here’s where things get real. Faulty hydraulics aren’t just a maintenance issue but a safety hazard from the driver to everyone on the road. And with accidents come the kind of legal and financial headaches no one wants to deal with.
