Slick UpTime: 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 program, 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. Slick 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.
We see it coming
Intelligence
TruView reads driver reports, OEM schedules, your input, our inspections — and telematics if you run it — then flags what's about to fail while there's still time to plan it.
You stay in control
Coordination
Your coordinator builds the plan. You keep the power of the purse — UpTime-critical work auto-approves only within the budget guardrails you set. No bottleneck, no surprise invoices.
You wake up to it done
Resolution
A W-2 Slick technician makes the fix overnight, on your lot, documented with photo and video. Trucks staged before morning.

You Control Every Dollar
Two levers. Both in your hands.
One Monthly Program
You choose what's covered — oil, fluids, inspections, tires, brakes. That becomes your monthly program: the PM rhythm, coordination, and prepaid corrective labor at volume discounts. No estimate cycle between a finding and a fix. Parts billed transparently at invoice level.
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 Slick 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.
Real numbers from a 40-truck FedEx fleet: over $54,000 saved a year, spares cut from 4 to 1, and 100% of shop visits eliminated.
“Slick is THE missing piece for FedEx contractors. By the grace of God I found you guys.”
Your Dedicated Slick Account Team
Most fleet services hand you a 1-800 number and a ticket queue. Slick gives you a dedicated team — real people who know your fleet, your schedule, and your priorities.
One call. One team. No dispatch center.
Always Reachable
Call or text your Account Team directly. No ticket queues, no hold music, no starting over with a stranger.
Proactive Scheduling
They manage the calendar around your operations — not the other way around.
Status Updates
Real-time updates on every service event. You know what's happening without asking.
Escalation Handling
Something goes wrong? They own it until it's resolved. No finger-pointing, no runaround.
UpTime or PMI+?
Same techs, same vans, same inspections — a PMI+ visit catches the same worn part an UpTime visit does. The difference is what happens next, and who's accountable for it.
