Downtime
cost is an important factor to consider when running an entire fleet as well as
a small business. 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.
With
traditional bolt-on service 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 both out, there is a considerable loss per hour between hard and
soft costs. Preventative measures can be taken to avoid downtime and to handle these
costs
The
best way to lower or eliminate downtime costs is by having a plan that did not
depend on the condition of the vehicle. Fleetwest offers such innovative and alternative
service vehicle solutions in a multitude of heavy duty steel and lightweight fiberglass
composite models; The Load’N’Go and Durashell service bodies which are all 100%
transferable.
When
a truck is in the shop for maintenance or an accident occurs, Fleetwest service
bodies can be moved from the damaged truck and onto another in minutes, fully
loaded. Load'N'Go and Durashell service bodies are installed with the use of
lifting jacks, forklift or a crane and since no holes are drilled there is no
permanent damage done to the pickup or service body. 
This
way your technician can continue to their service calls with their personal
service body, tools and equipment until their vehicle is repaired and then the
service body can be transferred back again. Fleetwest service bodies
universally fit most full size pickup trucks, Chevy, Ford, Dodge and Toyota,
with 8’ and 6.5’ beds and are built to last multiple truck cycles.
