Fleet and
self-employed technicians alike depend on their vehicles to get the job done.
Accidents, driver time off, work truck maintenance and repairs result in costly
downtime; 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 service vehicle options.
When a pickup truck is in the shop for maintenance or an accident occurs, Durashell and Load'N'Go service bodies can be moved from the
damaged pickup truck onto another in minutes, fully loaded.
With traditional 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 considerable loss per 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 and
Durashell service bodies are installed with the use of lifting jacks, forklift
or a crane. No holes are drilled so there is no permanent damage done to the
pickup truck or service body. Problem solved! Your technician can continue his
service calls with his personal service body, tools and equipment until his
vehicle is repaired and then the service body can be transferred back again,
fully loaded.
