We do this in three ways:

• Buy or list surplus trucks they do not need or need to upgrade — providing funds for future purchases.
• Sell them a newer used truck to better protect their people — inventory or broker.
• Fix a truck to keep, upgrading its condition, to keep it on the road for an extended time.

Let's Talk About Fixing

Our team has developed excellent relationships with local departments as we help them perform preventive maintenance and keep their trucks in service.

Every year the 'fix' team works on trucks that have been in a collision, partnering with insurance companies and fire departments to get a truck back on the road serving.

The 'fix' team also spends countless hours re-working our inventory sales trucks to update them to a new department's standards.

And then there are the instances when the 'fix' team helps a department by completely refurbishing one of their trucks to give it an extended life in service. A case in point is the recently completed Anniston, Alabama project.

This project started as a request from the city of Anniston to submit a bid to refurbish one of their trucks. We won the bid, and the truck arrived on campus a few weeks later. From there, the truck hit all the areas of our shop: fabrication, parts, service, and paint.
