Why should fleet rotations be included in the maintenance record for each car?

Including fleet rotations in the maintenance record for each car is primarily important to ensure that cars are used equally. This practice helps distribute wear and tear among the vehicles in the fleet, thus promoting even usage and longevity of each vehicle. When cars are rotated, it minimizes the risk of certain vehicles being overused while others are underutilized, which can lead to uneven maintenance needs and operational inefficiencies. Furthermore, an equitable distribution of usage can also contribute to a more consistent performance across the fleet as a whole. While simplification of record-keeping, tracking age, and comparing fuel efficiency are important aspects of fleet management, the fundamental goal of fleet rotations is to maintain equality in usage to optimize the overall performance and lifespan of the vehicles.
