When you’re looking to upfit a new fleet vehicle or add safety features to your existing fleet, we’re here to help. We can advise, sell, install, and maintain equipment. Give us a call for a quote that fits your needs and budget.

“‘Look at the stats of safety within your industry. You’ll find that on average, workers’ comp claims affect 2.8 out of every 100 workers that work out of their pickups and vans. Those claims average about $40,000 per incident and result in a loss of work,’ Haag said. ‘If a company operates vans, pickups, or service bodies, they know the drivers are working out of the back of those trucks on every call they make — every day. Those same companies have a responsibility to their drivers to provide them with a safe environment when they’re on the job.’”

You want a truck that carries all the equipment you need and gets from point A to point B quickly. Don’t forget about the operator inside of the truck.
