Owner-Operators and Small Fleets
Overview
Working with owner-operators and small fleets fleets
Who this is for: Owner-operator or small fleet owner running one to ten units, making repair decisions personally.
When you own the truck, every day in a shop is income you do not get back, and there is no spare unit to cover the route. That changes what a good repair recommendation looks like.
We will tell you when something can wait, when a cheaper repair is genuinely adequate, and when a repair is approaching the value of the vehicle. That is more useful than a quote for everything we could possibly do.
On insurance work we handle the carrier communication and the supplement process, because running that on top of running a business is where most owner-operators lose money on a claim.
Pressure Points
What actually makes this hard

- No spare unit to cover a vehicle in the shop
- Repair cost comes out of the same pocket as everything else
- Hard to judge whether a quoted repair is necessary
- Insurance claims have to be handled personally on top of running the business
