We have been hearing from many dealers that calendar based PM does not make much sense due to inaccuracies and unbalanced equipment usage. Maintaining fleet based actual usage seems appealing but customers typically do not provide readings

If CSRs or techs have to retrieve readings, does the cost of gas and the time justify PM based on HMR? As a dealer what will work best for your operation?

If you install a system which can electronically retrieve HMRs and abuse data, at what cost can you justify such system?
