Fleet maintenance for movers & service companies — peak-season ready, serviced off-peak
Month-end and summer are when moving trucks earn — and exactly when one can't be in a shop. I service box trucks, vans and light trailers at your yard in the slow windows, so peak days run on a fleet that's already been gone through.
What moving & service duty actually does to a fleet
Brakes at maximum, downhill, loaded
A loaded box truck is the hardest brake duty in the light-duty world. Pads, rotors and the hardware behind them get measured and logged at every PM visit, because brake failure on a loaded truck isn't a repair bill — it's a liability event.
Ramps, lift gates and door hardware
The stuff that isn't the engine still kills move days: a lift gate that won't drop, a ramp that jams, a roll-up door off its track. Moving parts get inspected and lubricated as part of the visit — boring, cheap, and the difference between a crew loading at 8 a.m. or standing around.
Feast-and-famine mileage
Service fleets spike — month-end for movers, spring for landscapers, project pushes for cleaners. Time-based PM with a pre-peak check fits that rhythm far better than a mileage sticker nobody reads. Cadence gets set to your season at the assessment.
Light trailers count too
Landscape and equipment trailers are light-duty work I handle at the yard: wheel bearings, brakes, lights, tires, couplers. The trailer that sat all winter is the one that loses a bearing in June.
How a yard visit runs
- Scheduled AROUND your peaks — mid-month for movers, off-season blocks for seasonal fleets, never during your earning window
- Pre-peak fleet check before month-end and before the busy season: brakes, tires, lights, fluids, gates and ramps on every unit
- Full PM per unit: oil & filter, 50-point photo inspection, fluids, tires logged, battery test
- Light trailers serviced on the same visit — bearings, brakes, lights, tires
- Every unit's photo condition report in your inbox before I leave — dated, odometer-stamped, forwardable
Movers, cleaning companies, landscapers, pool and property services, mobile pet groomers, shuttle operators — the common thread is a fleet that earns in bursts and can't afford a dead vehicle during one. The maintenance model that fits isn't "call a shop when it breaks"; it's a standing yard visit in the quiet windows plus a fleet-wide check right before the season hits.
For movers specifically: your heavy trucks likely sit over Ontario's 4,500 kg line, which brings annual inspections and record-keeping obligations most small moving companies discover the hard way. I do the get-ready work, keep the per-unit records, and I'm straight about the part that legally happens at a licensed inspection centre.
