UpTime by Slick: The Rhythm That Keeps Your Fleet Running
You choose what's covered. Beyond mobile maintenance, Slick builds a proactive system around it — scheduled visits, predictive inspections, overnight on-site service. One monthly cost. One team. Full visibility through TruView.
The Traditional Maintenance Trap
You're not maintaining vehicles — you're chasing breakdowns. Multiple shops, unpredictable invoices, zero visibility into what's actually happening.
Unpredictable costs
every shop has different rates, your maintenance spend is a black box
Reactive repairs
you don't catch problems until something breaks
Vendor juggling
multiple shops, multiple invoices, nobody knows your fleet
Zero visibility
you find out about issues after they cost you money
Beyond mobile maintenance. This is managed UpTime.
Mobile maintenance is still reactive — it just happens in your lot instead of a shop. UpTime is a proactive system: five feedback loops feed one platform that sees what's about to fail, your coordinator builds the plan, and a Slick technician resolves it overnight — trucks staged before morning.
TruView
One platform reads every signal and flags what's about to fail — before it strands a driver.
Intelligence
See what's about to fail
TruView turns the five loops into one picture — flagging issues before they strand a driver, not after.
Coordination
You keep the power of the purse
Your coordinator builds the plan. UpTime-critical work auto-approves within budget guardrails you set. No bottleneck, no surprise invoices.
Resolution
Fixed overnight, on your lot
A Slick W-2 technician resolves it after hours, documented with photo and video — trucks staged before morning.

You Control Every Dollar
Two levers. Both in your hands.
Fixed Monthly Cost
You choose what's covered — oil, fluids, inspections, tires, brakes. That becomes your fixed Monthly Recurring Charge. No per-visit invoicing. No fluctuation. One number, every month.
Add more services and the effective rate drops. Start lean and expand as you see the value.
You Set the Guardrails
Beyond your monthly coverage, you fund one Extra Labor Hours pool and set the budget guardrails. UpTime-critical repairs auto-approve and flow to resolution 24/7 within those limits — so a stranded truck never waits on a signature.
Larger or out-of-scope work is documented with photos in TruView and sent for your approval. One MRC, one ELH pool. No surprise invoices.
Spending efficiency — not just spend
Spend what you should — and get more for it, every year.
With UpTime you don't just spend less — you spend right. Because the system is proactive, that efficiency compounds: the longer a truck's in the program, the more every dollar delivers. The traditional model does the opposite — paying more as vehicles age, for less.
Traditional
Pay more, get less every year.
With Slick UpTime
Spend right, get more every year.

“Slick is THE missing piece for FedEx contractors. By the grace of God I found you guys.”
