Fig. 36 · Fleet service
One shop. Every truck in your fleet.
Landscaping, HVAC, plumbing, septic. Quick turn, predictable invoicing, no runaround.
Every day your truck is down is a day nobody's making money. I prioritize fleet turnaround, bill monthly on net-30, and keep a maintenance log so you know which rig in your fleet needs what next.
Fig. 37 · How fleet works here
Four things I do different for fleet.
Every fleet rig gets a paper file [FIG. 01]. Fluid spec, last service date, torque-spec notes. Saves us both a phone call when the next truck comes in.
I. Priority scheduling
Your work truck moves to the front of the bay.
Every day your truck is down is a day nobody is making money. When a fleet rig comes in, it moves ahead of the weekend cruisers. I would rather bump a restoration back two days than cost you a day of billable work. You get a realistic pickup time on the phone. Not a guess that slides by 48 hours.
Minimum 3 trucks to open a fleet account. Landscaping, HVAC, plumbing, septic.
II. Net-30 + log
Invoice at pickup, pay in 30.
No card-on-file games. No "commercial" markup. A file per truck: fluid spec, last service, torque-notes.
III. Pickup & deliver
Hernando County yards only.
If you have a yard in Hernando County, I can pick up and deliver. We work out the logistics on the phone.

For the folks with a heavy hitch
Pulling a boat to the ramp every weekend? I build your trans knowing it's going to see 6,000 lbs on the hitch.
HD internals, upgraded coolers, firmer shift calibration. The kind of build that doesn't fade on a 90-degree Saturday with the bow on a trailer behind you. Same story for landscaping fleets, pest-control vans, and the guys who take their Silverado to the track on the weekend.
If I could give 10 stars I would.. My transmission in my handicap equipped. Suburban went got it to Anthony's shop. He changed his schedule around for me and managed to get me back on the road
Fleet questions I get
Before you call.
Minimum fleet size?
Three trucks and up. Solo contractors with one truck still get the same fast turnaround. Just as a regular customer.
Do you warranty fleet work the same?
Commercial use gets a 1-year / 50,000-mile warranty (not 2-year) because the duty cycle is heavier. That's a real-world number, not a dodge.
Can you do preventive-only contracts?
Yes. Scheduled fluid services, filter swaps, and annual inspections. Easier budgeting for you, fewer emergency tows for me. Wins both ways.
