to be a challenge.\nAdditionally, operating out of a single location was increasing costs as empty trailers were transported back to the shop for repairs.\nPohl needed a resource that could manage trailer fleet compliance while allowing its existing mechanic workforce to focus on power units.\nWith fleet compliance under 80% and D.O.T. fines on the rise, Pohl needed an outside resource to tackle past-due FHWAs and manage future PMs     <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"821\"

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>When the Star Leasing account manager was first informed of the compliance issue, Pohl Transportation\u2019s trailer fleet compliance rating was below 80%.\nStar Leasing proposed a partnership where all of Pohl\u2019s semi-trailer PMs and FHWA inspections would be managed by Star Leasing via its nationwide preferred vendor network.\nPohl would also receive a dedicated Star Leasing account manager.\nStar Leasing performed travel route and location assessment to identify routes and distribution centers that Pohl trailers frequented.\nStar Leasing then mapped out the existing compliance process and uncovered a logistical issue around scheduling off-site PMs with outside vendors.\nLastly, Star Leasing analyzed maintenance records to identify a preventative maintenance cycle that would minimize large costly repairs.     <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plan_Execution_And_Results\"><\/span>Plan

be completed by Star Leasing\u2019s nationwide network of vendors.\nStar Leasing also imported and organized Pohl\u2019s semi-trailer fleet data to improve compliance tracking and advanced PM scheduling. <\/p>\n\n<p>Results were both immediate and sustained:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>100% FHWA fleet compliance within 45 days of partnership with Star
