Green Truck Association is commemorating its 10th anniversary

 Green Truck Association is commemorating its 10th anniversary this year.  Since it has been established, it has been committed to improving the efficiency and productivity of work trucks.  See the article that is posted in the NTEA for more information.

The NTEA was established in 1964; the Association for the Work Truck Industry represents more than 2,100 companies that manufacture, distribute, install, sell and repair commercial trucks, truck bodies, truck equipment, trailers and accessories.

Fleetwest's transferable truck bodies are also committed to efficiency and productivity of work trucks.  Because our truck bodies are transferable, it reduces the number of trucks a fleet has to have on hand.  The truck body can be moved from one truck to another if there are breakdowns or accidents.  In addition, Fleetwest Truck Bodies are versatile.  Your truck can be used for both work and personal, just by slipping it on/off the truck body.

Having a transferable service body from Fleetwest is one way to increase your fuel economy in your pickup  work truck.  Fleetwest offers fiberglass units that are ergonically engineered and lightweight to reduce fuel consumption.

Building the Optimal Work Truck

 When you’re building a work truck, there are numerous specs that need to be factored correctly to avoid costly oversights. Make sure you consider a vehicle’s operating guidelines and payload requirements. A smart fleet manager should talk with the people in the field to understand what type of service the vehicle is expected to perform and how it needs to be used. During that discussion with the technicians, you may discover problems that they have encountered in their everyday use that may have been over looked.

It’s not uncommon to uncover issues with insufficient tool storage or lack of bins, limited visibility, loading height restrictions and poor payload distribution. It is essential to understand how a vehicle will be loaded and unloaded. Do they need lifts, ramps or even slide out trays? The more you understand the vehicle or upfit deficiencies the more efficient your next build will be. Not to mention your technician’s performance and satisfaction will be.

With a Fleetwest service body we have the innovative solutions to create the ideal work truck so you can work smarter, not harder! The Load’N’Go by Fleetwest not only can help with organization and make you more efficient, but it can also make for a safer work environment.

Add Years To Your Fleets' Life Cycle

 When should we replace our vehicles? This is an important question for any business owner or fleet manager. Service vehicles are your company assets and may need some long needed maintenance to extend its longevity, if not replacement. Maybe they lost their shine, are showing their age or just look tired. If it looks like they need some outer TLC, they probably need some servicing on the inside as well.

How has your vehicle been performing? Take into consideration your vehicles performance history. Think of it like a health check for your fleet. It's important to review your vehicles expenditures. If you feel your maintenance costs are on the climb, you may consider doing a cost analysis. Life cycle cost analysis is the key to optimal timing for vehicle replacement in fleets.

According to Work Truck the following are recommendations on what to review:

  • Interest cost for capital expenditures
  • Inflation rate for adjusting life cycle maintenance and operating costs
  • Vehicle depreciation rate
  • Purchase cost of vehicle
  • Estimated maintenance and operating costs

Fleetwest can add years to the life cycle of your service vehicle with a transferable service body. All of the units can be transferred off a retired pickup and placed into another pickup truck with a no-holes drilled installation. This creates a higher resell value for the pickup truck and your service body making it a huge asset to any fleet!

To find out how to add years to your fleets’ life cycle with a Load'N'Go or a Durashellcall (866)497-7200 or visit www.fleetwest.net.  You can also request a quote at: www.fleetwest.net/get-a-quote/

Accessories Make A Difference


Accessories Make A Difference

Ladders and other long cargo items, such as pipes, can take up valuable storage space in a work truck. Simply adding a ladder rack to your service body makes a world of difference. It will optimize that storage space, create organization and make for a safer work environment.
                                         
Benefits of adding a ladder rack:
Ladder racks provide the best angle to secure loads. Placing ladders or long material on top of your service body frees up storage space inside for parts and expensive cargo and equipment.
Accessibility is easier when ladders are securely stored on top of your work truck. Rather than moving tools and material to get to a ladder, simply take it down from atop.
Road safety is increased when ladders are stored on top the length of a pickup truck. When ladders stick out from the back of vehicles, accidents are more likely to occur; creating expensive accident or insurance costs for you and/or your fleet.
Easy accessibility to heavy materials, such as ladders, eliminates the risk of personal injury. Maneuvering heavy ladders can cause back injury. Having a secure ladder rack makes accessing these heavy materials easier and safer.

Fleetwest offers multiple styles.  Call toll free today at (866) 497-7200 for a quote on a ladder rack and Load’N’Go service body or request a quote online at: https://www.fleetwest.net/get-a-quote/.  Also visit our website at: https://www.fleetwest.net/

Versatility Helps Productivity

Fleetwest has slip-on truck bodies that can be transferred to other trucks while loaded. You can even take off your truck body and leave it at a job site with our optional jacks. This will allow your tools to stay locked and safe. Protecting your valuable cargo in a slip-on truck body makes so much financial sense. Our double locking doors and side compartments provide the security you need to prevent theft.

 We have 4 different Load’N’Go models to choose from: 

  •  Fixed Top
  •  Open Bed
  •  Sportsman
  •  Powerbody 

They all fit most standard long-bed and short-bed models. You can transfer them in minutes with our no-holes drilled installation. Transferable truck bodies are just as the name suggests, transferable service bodies that are not bolted into the pick-up truck bed but rather clamped to the bed rails. A rubber mat is placed on the bed of the pick-up to prevent the service body from moving in the bed. Transferability changes everything!
