Since the implementation of modern approaches in operation maintenance, drivers are expected to be integrated into the entire system of maintenance in order to take over the professional competencies of maintenance workers. For this purpose, an international study was conducted on a sample of 249 truck drivers, with the aim to determine how maintenance in transport companies affects the role of heavy truck drivers in fleet maintenance. Based on the developed SEM model, it was determined that building an efficient maintenance infrastructure in transport companies enables the active participation of truck drivers in the company’s maintenance system. Drivers are capable of repairing minor failures, but only if they are proactive, which will affect their preventive behaviour. This can greatly benefit transport companies, as the results show that the vehicles are utilised more efficiently and in a better technical condition. The results therefore represent an important guideline for improving maintenance in transport companies, developing new competencies of truck drivers and upgrading existing knowledge in the development of modern operation maintenance.

Od czasu wdrożenia nowoczesnych metod obsługi technicznej, kierowcy powinni zostać zintegrowani z całym systemem obsługi technicznej, aby przejąć kompetencje zawodowe pracowników obsługi technicznej. W tym celu przeprowadzono międzynarodowe badanie na próbie 249 kierowców ciężarówek w celu ustalenia, w jaki sposób obsługa techniczna w firmach transportowych wpływa na rolę kierowców ciężarówek w utrzymaniu floty. Na podstawie opracowanego modelu równania strukturalnego (SEM) ustalono, że zbudowanie efektywnej infrastruktury serwisowej w firmach transportowych umożliwia aktywny udział kierowców ciężarówek w systemie obsługi technicznej firmy. Kierowcy są zdolne do naprawy drobnych usterek, ale tylko wtedy, gdy są proaktywni, co wpłynie na ich zachowanie zapobiegawcze. Może to być bardzo korzystne dla firm transportowych, ponieważ wyniki pokazują, że pojazdy są użytkowane bardziej wydajnie i w lepszym stanie technicznym. Wyniki stanowią zatem ważną wskazówkę dotyczącą poprawy obsługi technicznej w firmach transportowych poprzez rozwój nowych kompetencji kierowców ciężarówek i poszerzanie istniejącej wiedzy w zakresie rozwoju nowoczesnej obsługi technicznej.
