A construction outfit out of Jerome called us a couple of years back — eight trucks, two flatbeds, and a service van, all running hard between job sites from Twin Falls to Mountain Home. They were losing days to breakdowns nobody had seen coming, and oil changes were happening whenever a driver remembered. We put the whole fleet on a scheduled PM program, gave each unit its own file, and started catching brakes, u-joints, and coolant problems before they parked a truck. Downtime dropped, the surprise repair bills dropped with it, and the owner stopped getting 6 a.m. phone calls. That is what fleet services Jerome Idaho work is supposed to do — get you off the reactive cycle and onto a schedule the trucks can actually live on.
Fleets in the Magic Valley take a beating. Farm trucks pull loaded goosenecks across rough ground every day. Construction rigs run washboard county roads. Service vans put on highway miles between Boise and Pocatello. Hot shot trailers never stop. Whatever your fleet looks like, it costs money the minute it stops moving — and the only real defense is a maintenance program that runs on a calendar, not on whoever notices a leak first.
What our fleet program covers
- Scheduled preventive maintenance on a calendar or mileage interval per unit.
- DOT annual inspections, brake inspections, and supporting paperwork.
- Per-unit service history by VIN and unit number — full records on demand.
- Priority scheduling for down trucks on fleet accounts.
- Account billing with itemized monthly invoicing.
- On-site PMs and repairs through our mobile service when it makes sense.
- In-shop heavy repair — engines, transmissions, drivetrain, frame, and welding.
- Tire program coordination and DOT-legal tread tracking.
Who we run programs for
Most of our fleet customers fall into a handful of categories: dairies and farm operations along S Tiger Dr and 100 South Rd, construction and excavation outfits running between job sites, hot shot and last-mile trucking running the I-84 corridor, service companies (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) with vans across the Magic Valley, and municipal or agricultural co-op fleets. Vehicle mix runs from half-ton work trucks to Class 8 tractors, plus the trailers behind them.
We don't have a minimum fleet size in the marketing-brochure sense. If you have two trucks and you're tired of guessing when the next thing is going to break, that's a fleet to us.
How a fleet program actually starts
First visit is a baseline. We walk every unit, pull codes, check fluids and brakes, and build a file per VIN. Anything that's already due gets scheduled. Anything that's a watch-item goes on the next interval.
From there each unit runs on a PM schedule built around how it's used — a feed truck on idle hours, a hot shot tractor on miles, a service van on a calendar. We text or email the contact when a unit is due, schedule it around your operation, and send the invoice with the work itemized. The history stays with the truck for as long as you own it.
How fleet work fits the rest of the shop
Fleet customers use most of the shop. Diesel pickups and Class 8 trucks run through our diesel repair bay. Trailer brakes, lights, and reefer issues hand off to trailer & reefer repair. Tractor work goes through semi truck repair. Most on-site PMs and breakdowns route through our mobile mechanic service, and recoveries go through towing. The full menu is on the services page.
Honest pricing, real records
Fleet pricing is straightforward — labor at our shop rate, parts at agreed margins, and no surprise add-ons. Every invoice is itemized by unit so you can see exactly where the money went. Records belong to you and we'll hand them over any time you ask. Call or stop by the shop and we'll set up a baseline visit for your fleet.
Frequently Asked Questions
How small a fleet do you work with?
Anything from two trucks up. A lot of our fleet customers are small operations — a contractor with three vans, a farm with a half-dozen trucks, a hot shot running four trailers. We size the program to the fleet, not the other way around.
Do you do DOT inspections?
Yes. Annual DOT inspections, brake checks, and the paperwork that goes with them. We can schedule the whole fleet on a rotating calendar so nothing slips past due.
Can you come to our yard instead of us bringing trucks in?
Yes. Most fleet PMs and a lot of repairs we handle on-site through our mobile mechanic service. Heavy work — transmissions, head jobs, frame repair — comes back to the shop.
Do fleet customers get priority scheduling?
Yes. Down trucks for fleet accounts move to the front of the line. We know what a parked truck costs you per day, and we run the schedule that way.
Do you bill on net terms?
We set up account billing for established fleet customers — monthly invoicing, itemized by unit number, with PM history attached so your records stay clean.
Can you track maintenance history per truck?
Yes. Every unit gets its own file by VIN and unit number. You can pull a full service history any time — useful for resale, warranty claims, and budgeting next year's replacements.
