Fleet drivers and self-employed technicians alike depend on their
vehicles to get the job done. Accidents, driver time off, and work truck
repairs result in costly downtime, and simply put, there is no good time for
downtime. Downtime cost is an important factor to consider when running a
fleet.
Preventative measures can be taken to avoid downtime, and to
handle costs when downtime occurs.
Knowing the employment costs (salaries, commission, etc.) as well as the
variable and fixed costs of vehicles can help in preparing for the unexpected.
The best way to lower or eliminate downtime costs is by having a
plan. Fleetwest Transferable
Truck Bodies provides you
with alternative transportation options. When a pickup truck is in the shop for
repairs or an accident occurs, Load'N'Go service bodies can be moved from the
damaged pickup truck onto another in minutes, fully loaded.
With bolt-on bodies, continuing to operate a work truck depends on
the condition of the pickup or van. This means that an individual or company
continues to incur expenses until the vehicle is repaired. When a vehicle and
its driver are out, there is a loss of approximately $80 an hour between hard
and soft costs. Those costs can be controlled with a transferable truck body
because it does not depend on the condition of the vehicle. Load'N'Go service
bodies are installed with the use of lifting jacks or built in forklift
tunnels. No holes are drilled so there is no permanent damage done to the pickup
truck or service body. To see a transferable vs. bolt-on service body
