Our current fleet consists of 9 trucks and 13 trailers, and we continue to expand. We take a disciplined approach to maintenance: repairs are done correctly the first time, we use OEM parts in most cases, and we maintain a well-stocked parts inventory to keep downtime to a minimum. Our fully equipped service truck allows us to handle repairs efficiently, both in the shop and on the road. We invest in quality tools and equipment because we believe a well-maintained fleet is the foundation of reliable service.
