The duty cycle
How Reimer Plumbing and Heating puts miles on a vehicle.
A plumbing and heating contractor’s truck is the business. It carries a heavy load of fittings, tools and water heaters and runs call to call all day. Loaded weight and short trips wear brakes, rear springs and tires early.
A local contractor has no spare fleet: a truck in the shop two days is two days of calls turned away. The right program catches problems on a scheduled visit and gets a broken truck back the same day.
What the program does
Built around that duty cycle, not a calendar.
Preventive maintenance is scheduled for early drop-off so the truck is back before afternoon calls — brakes, tires, suspension, batteries and charging systems measured and photographed every visit, with loaded-weight wear items on shorter intervals than the factory schedule.
Being a few minutes up Route 50 means a drop-off is not a lost morning, and with more than ten vehicles the account qualifies for pickup and delivery, so the trucks never have to leave the job.
A broken truck moves to the front of the line, diagnosed that day and quoted with photos so the owner can approve from a job site. New York State inspections are logged by unit and done during PM visits.
Billing is one consolidated monthly invoice with per-vehicle lines, so the real cost of keeping each truck on the road is visible, and the per-unit history is there when it is time to decide which truck gets replaced next.
Questions fleet managers in this trade ask
Do you service plumbing and heating contractor trucks in Scotia?
Yes — fleet accounts at Fogg’s include Reimer Plumbing and Heating, a Scotia contractor a few minutes up Route 50 from our shop. Contractor trucks run loaded on tight call schedules, so the program is built around early drop-off preventive visits and same-day turnaround.
What happens when a contractor’s only truck breaks down?
It moves to the front of the line. A broken-down fleet unit is diagnosed the day it arrives and quoted with photos so the owner can approve from a job site; parts are sourced while approval comes through, and most repairs finish the same day.
Is a two- or three-truck contractor big enough for a fleet account?
Yes — two work vehicles is enough. A small contractor gets the same per-vehicle history, priority scheduling, batched inspections and single monthly invoice as a forty-unit route fleet; the difference is only how many units are on the account.
