To Get the Right Part You Need the Data!

Does Using E-Commerce Mean That You Get the Right Part? Year over year, there is an increase in the orders of heavy-duty parts coming in over e-commerce platforms. The days of orders coming in by fax are over. However, if you do not have the data to back up what is being sold on an e-commerce site, the part might be wrong. This can create all kinds of problems for the customer. This means that the convenience of ordering online must be coupled with the right information to avoid frustration. 💡Have you ordered parts online only to find that they were not the correct ones?

Use New Technology to Improve the Buying Experience There are so many new technologies that can be used to improve the buying experience for customers. However, some technology might benefit the supplier but not actually help the customer. Our host, Jamie Irvine said, "If it doesn't improve the buying experience for the end-user customer, adoption is going to be low." Heavy-duty businesses adopting new technology must make sure it is a good fit for what their customer actually wants.

That’s Not Heavy Duty - Runaway Truck from Failed Brakes This video clip is an example of a trucker's worst nightmare. The truck has lost it’s brakes going on a steep grade and is trying to avoid hitting other vehicles. At the end, it makes it to the runaway lane and crashes onto its side, destroying the truck but without human causalities. It truly is a sobering reminder of the importance of maintaining brakes on commercial vehicles and why the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's Brake Safety Week, taking place from August 25th - 31st, 2024 is so necessary.

Don’t Get Too Close to a Truck with Bad Brakes! Many years ago, our host Jamie Irvine was told by a mentor in Vancouver to avoid driving near local dump trucks because they did not have regular brake inspections. Safety regulations are stricter than 25 years ago when this advice was given but the concept still applies – you do not want to be near a large commercial vehicle without brakes! Brake Safety Week 2024 is from August 25th – 31st. The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) started this week of safety focused on brakes because it really is a life and death issue.
