USPS Rates and Seasonal Rental Process Updates
- USPS rates will be increasing beginning on Monday, September 11
- There will be an update to the Seasonal Rental Process
- A dealer alert will be going out to provide details on these updates in the week of September 11, so be on the lookout for that.
PM MANAGEMENT
- PM due dates are based on the original maintenance start date
- Every PM due has a “notification” created in our system
- Due dates are based on the previous due date, not the prior completion date
- PM notifications cannot be closed without performing and billing the PM invoice
- FM PMs need the notification closed by logging the PM information on the Toyota Portal
- T & M PM’s require invoice submission via the Toyota Portal
- TMH does notify the dealer when PMs are due (PM Detail report, Monthly PM Reports) Home Depot PM POs
- The dealer is responsible for running the PM Detail Report
- Timeframe – Complete and submit invoices within 7 days of PM service
- Top Root Causes for Poor PM Completion Performance
- Dealer uses business system instead of the Portal “PM Detail” report
- Dealer fails to close FM PM’s – This is completed on the Portal
- The dealer gets out of alignment – Follow the reports we send the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd week of each month
- Customer rejects PM – Enter Fleet support ticket
- Unserviceable units – Enter Fleet support ticket
