Multiple fleet trucks under the Wilkerson's Diesel & Tire service canopy in Jackson, MS

Fleets · 5 to 50 trucks

A real PM program. One number. One name on every invoice.

Scheduled intervals, priority scheduling, consolidated billing, DOT compliance support, dedicated point of contact. We make the downtime math work for owner-operators all the way up to 50-truck fleets.

The downtime math

Every day a truck sits, it stops paying for itself.

The industry average is 8.7 unplanned downtime days per truck per year. Fleets that run a real PM program cut that to ~6.96 — Platform Science's 2024 fleet study. On most fleets, that gap is worth more than insurance refunds and fuel discounts combined.

What's on the program

No mystery. Here's the full list.

Strong PM isn't magic. It's doing the boring stuff before something breaks. The owner-operators who get this right are the ones whose trucks are still earning at 800,000 miles.

Scheduled inspections

Every visit

  • DOT pre-trip checklist
  • All-around air-leak test
  • Brake adjustment + chamber check
  • Wheel-end inspection (seal + bearing temp)
  • Tire wear + pressure across the axle
  • DEF / SCR fault-code pull

On the calendar

Intervals

  • Oil & filter — your engine's manufacturer interval
  • DPF cleaning — when the back-pressure data says so
  • Coolant + DEF tank service — annual minimum
  • Air dryer rebuild — every 24–36 months
  • Annual DOT inspection — in-house

What a fleet account gets you

Six concrete things, not a sales deck.

  • Priority scheduling

    Your trucks jump the walk-in line. We hold morning bays for fleet accounts.

  • Consolidated billing

    One invoice per month per truck, or one combined — your call. PO-friendly.

  • Dedicated contact

    Same name on the phone every time. You don't re-explain the fleet to a new service writer.

  • Service log per truck

    A real maintenance history — yours, not ours. Pays for itself when you sell or refinance.

  • Parts on your shelf

    Common-failure parts tagged to your account. When a truck breaks, we already have it.

  • DOT compliance support

    Annual inspections and pre-CVSA Roadcheck prep handled in-house. No "send it out."

The cost of sitting

Every day a truck sits costs your fleet $700–$1,000+.

The shops down the road will keep your trucks for three weeks without even pulling a fault code. We won't. Plug your fleet's numbers in below and see what downtime is really costing you.
