Time, distance or both
A schedule can count days, kilometres, or both at once. T-207 can carry oil changes every 25,000 km right beside a brake adjustment check every 60 days.
Preventive maintenance
PM schedules that count in kilometres and keep themselves current
Give each truck its own service intervals in days, kilometres or both, give each trailer type a calendar plan, and let ELD odometer readings decide when the next service comes due. Every day, RigMD tells the shop what is close and what is late.

How each PM schedule works
Trailer types share a plan
Trucks carry schedules of their own. A trailer uses the plan for its trailer type, so all your flatdecks share one, and trailer plans run on days.
Kilometres or miles, per truck
Each truck is set to kilometres or miles on its truck form. A unit that runs mostly in the US can stay in miles while the rest of the fleet counts kilometres, and ELD readings are converted to whichever unit the truck uses.
Flagged before it is late
A daily job sorts every schedule. For a truck kept in kilometres, a service turns due soon within 500 km or 14 days by default, and overdue once the date or the reading has gone by.
Digest and in-app notice
Reminders come as one daily email digest plus a notice inside the app, so the shop lead reads a finished list rather than building one from a whiteboard.
Work orders, on Pro
With Pro, a PM that comes due gets its own work order, opened by the daily job and never duplicated. Closing that work order moves the schedule on to its next date and reading.
Odometer readings from the ELD, in the truck’s own unit
Most missed services start with a stale number: the reading on the shop whiteboard came off a fuel slip two weeks ago. RigMD keeps a single live reading on every truck. It is refreshed by a connected Motive, Samsara or Radical ELD account, by any work order closed on Pro, and by a correction typed in from the office.
Readings arrive converted into the unit chosen for that truck. Take T-207, kept in kilometres, with oil and filters due at 612,900 km: the digest marks the service due soon as the odometer goes past 612,400, and overdue beyond 612,900. Calendar schedules behave the same way against dates, and that is how every trailer plan runs.
Choosing intervals under Standard 11
National Safety Code Standard 11 expects every carrier to inspect, maintain and repair its vehicles at regular intervals, trailers included, but it does not hand you fixed intervals. You set them, usually starting from the maker’s maintenance schedule, and some provinces cap the distance or time between services. Whatever schedule you choose, you are expected to keep to it. Our PM schedule guide walks through example intervals.
RigMD is where those intervals live and get watched. On Starter, the daily digest and in-app notice tell the shop what is coming so it can book the work its usual way. Moving up to Pro, each schedule that comes due gets a PM work order from the daily job, the shop lead gives it to a mechanic, and finishing the job carries the schedule forward to its next due date and reading. The plans are compared on pricing.
How it works
Getting PM running
- 1
Pick each truck’s unit
Set every truck to kilometres or miles on its truck form, or leave the company default in place.
- 2
Add the schedules
Give each truck intervals by days, kilometres or both, and give each trailer type a plan by days.
- 3
Connect the ELD
Link your Motive, Samsara or Radical account for readings that flow in on their own, or type a reading in whenever one is needed.
- 4
Work the list
Read the daily digest and book the service; on Pro, closing the PM work order moves the schedule to its next due point.

Questions, answered
Can PM be scheduled in kilometres?
Yes. A truck kept in kilometres has its PM distance intervals, its due-soon margin and its due readings in kilometres. Each truck is set to kilometres or miles on its truck form, with your company’s distance unit as the default.
Which ELDs send odometer readings?
Motive, Samsara and Radical. Connect one of those accounts and every truck’s odometer follows it, converted into that truck’s unit before it reaches the PM schedules.
What counts as due soon?
By default, 500 km or 14 days before the service for a truck kept in kilometres, or 500 miles for one kept in miles. Once the date or the reading is behind it, the service shows as overdue.
Do trailers get distance-based schedules?
No. A trailer follows the plan for its trailer type, and those plans count days. Distance intervals are for trucks, since the odometer lives on the truck.
Is a work order opened for each PM?
On Pro and Premium. The daily job creates one PM work order per schedule as it comes due, never two for the same schedule, and finishing it carries the schedule forward. Starter has the schedules, the digest and the ELD readings. Compare plans on pricing.
