Preventative-maintenance counts reset each year, and services run at a minimum interval of 2,000 APU hours. Max needs a fleet of at least 25 trucks; Ultra needs 50. Extra one-off preventative maintenances are $695 each on any plan. Tractor Attendant covers fluid-level checks; fluid added to top off a low system is billed separately.

Where the savings come from

Most of a plan’s cost comes back in fuel, tires, and avoided breakdowns.

~70%
of drivers never check their APU oil. We check it at every visit.

Free Up Your Mechanics

We take routine preventative maintenance out of your shop, so your mechanics stay on the repairs that need a bay.

Save on Fuel

Eco Mudflaps on Max and Ultra cut drag, worth roughly $60 a month per truck at the pump. On-interval oil changes trim about 1% off the APU’s fuel use on every plan, and seasonal oil weights on Max and Ultra add about 1% more.

Scheduling Is on Us

You don’t track intervals or chase appointments. We schedule every visit and bring the work to your yard.

Automatic Service Queuing

Trucks running a Neon controller queue themselves for service based on engine hours. For the rest, you tell us hours and interval once and we track it from there.

Protect Your Tires

Tire pressure checks and treadwear reports catch uneven wear early. Figure about $1,000 a year per truck on Ultra’s weekly visits, and about $250 on Max’s monthly ones.

AMSOIL® Full-Synthetic Oil

Every preventative maintenance uses AMSOIL® Signature Series Max-Duty full-synthetic oil. It holds up longer between changes and protects the engine better than conventional oil.

Run your own numbers

Put in your trucks, PMs, and diesel price. Each card shows what that plan saves, what it costs, and what’s left over.

Your fleet

Neon’s Self-Teaching Computer saves 400+ gallons of fuel a year per truck, and its cost and savings are in the math. Thermo King’s schedule calls for service every 2,000 APU hours, about once a year with Neon.

For TriPac units Neon can’t plug into. Without Neon they hit 2,000 hours about every 6 months.

PMs per truck, per year

Applies to every truck, and each plan covers up to its limit. Thermo King’s schedule is in the notes above.

All plans may be canceled at any time. Damage-mitigation, fuel, tire, and other savings figures are estimates and vary with equipment, usage, and market prices. The ~70% figure reflects published industry estimates of operators who do not regularly check APU oil. The 5% annual-billing discount and the 5% discount for fleets of 50 or more trucks may be combined. One-off preventative maintenances are $695 per instance. The fuel top-off service NET14 billing option is available after 3 months of continuous subscription. Shop-labor savings value preventative-maintenance hours at the hourly rate you enter, and PM supply savings assume about $250 in oil, filters, and consumables per APU preventative maintenance, on the basis that your shop would otherwise perform this work. Calculator APU runtime is assumed at 10 hours per weekday plus 34 hours per weekend at 0.2 gallons per hour. Neon subscription pricing, volume discounts, and the 400-gallon annual fuel saving are as published on the Neon order and Neon pages.
