Why Mobile PM

The Smartest Investment You Make on Your Fleet

We Come to Your Yard

Your trucks stay parked. We come to you — on your schedule, on your timeline. No driving to a shop, no lost run time.

Scheduled PM Programs

Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or mileage-based — we build a recurring schedule and hold it. You don't call us; we just show up.

Full Service Records

Every PM generates a written report — what was done, what was found, what's due next. FMCSA-compliant documentation for every unit.

$300 PM vs $3,000 Breakdown

A scheduled oil change and brake check costs a fraction of a roadside emergency repair. PM pays for itself on the first breakdown it prevents.

Florida-Specific Maintenance

Why South Florida Is Harder on Trucks

Battery Failure

Florida heat kills batteries 30–50% faster. A 4-year battery lasts 2–3 years here.

Fix: Load-test every PM, replace before failure — not after a no-start.

Coolant Degradation

Year-round heat stress depletes corrosion inhibitors and SCA additives faster than northern climates.

Fix: Test coolant condition with refractometer and SCA strips at every Full PM.

Belt & Hose Failure

UV exposure + heat degrade rubber dramatically. A belt that lasts 5 years up north lasts 2–3 in South Florida.

Fix: Inspect at every PM — look for cracking, glazing, and coolant contamination.

Lubrication Starvation

Florida heat breaks down grease faster. Chassis, steering, and U-joints need more frequent service than manufacturer intervals suggest.

Fix: Full grease service at every PM — chassis, steering linkage, driveline, fifth wheel.

How It Works

Set It and Forget It — We Handle the Rest

1

Set Up Your Schedule

Call 561-475-8052. We'll build a PM schedule based on your fleet size, mileage intervals, and operation. Mileage-based, time-based, or both.

2

We Show Up

On your scheduled date — day, evening, overnight, weekend. We work around your trucks' availability, not shop hours.

3

Thorough Service

We follow a detailed PM checklist for every vehicle. Oil, filters, fluids, brakes, tires, grease, belts, battery — nothing skipped.

4

Flag What's Coming

We don't just do today's service. We tell you what's developing — wearing brakes, aging belts, borderline battery — so you can plan ahead.

5

Detailed Report

Written report documenting every vehicle serviced. What was done, what was found, what's due next. FMCSA-compliant records.

Every hour a truck is broken down costs you money twice — repair + lost revenue.

A scheduled PM program eliminates most unplanned breakdowns. Call us and we'll build one around your operation.

For Fleet Managers

We Come to Your Yard — Every Time

You manage trucks, drivers, loads, and compliance. The last thing you need is chasing down maintenance. We handle it — on your lot, on your schedule, with zero disruption to your operation.

$0

No Per-Truck Trip Fee

Fleet accounts get on-site service with no trip charge. One visit, every truck serviced.

Your Schedule, Not Ours

Nights, weekends, between loads — we work when your trucks are parked, not when a shop is open.

Full Documentation, Every Truck

Maintenance records, oil analysis, brake measurements — FMCSA-compliant paperwork for every unit, every visit.

One Mechanic, Your Whole Fleet

Consistency matters. The same tech who knows your trucks handles every visit — not a different face every time.

Fleet Compliance Tracking

We track PM intervals for every truck in your fleet. You get a heads-up when units are coming due — before you have to ask.

Reference Guide

Recommended PM Intervals by Truck Type

Use this table as a starting point for your fleet's preventive maintenance schedule. We'll customize intervals based on your specific operation.

Truck Type PM-A Interval PM-B Interval PM-C Interval
Long-haul tractor (500+ mi/day) Every 15,000 mi Every 30,000 mi Every 50,000 mi
Regional tractor (200-500 mi/day) Every 20,000 mi Every 40,000 mi Every 60,000 mi
Local delivery / vocational Every 25,000 mi Every 50,000 mi Annually
Trailers (all types) Every 6 months Every 12 months Every 24 months

These are general guidelines. Your maintenance intervals may vary based on engine platform, operating conditions, and manufacturer recommendations. Call 561-475-8052 and we'll build a schedule specific to your fleet.

The Numbers Don't Lie

Why Preventive Maintenance Saves You Money

$750-$2K+

Average Breakdown Cost

Repair bill + tow + lost revenue + driver downtime. One roadside event wipes out months of savings.

$250-$500

Average PM Visit Cost

A fraction of one breakdown. Scheduled maintenance pays for itself on the first failure it prevents.

30-40%

Fewer Breakdowns

Fleets that run scheduled PM programs see 30-40% fewer unplanned roadside repairs than those that don't.

<5%

DOT Out-of-Service Rate

National average is ~20%. Fleets with regular PM drop to under 5%. That means your trucks stay on the road.

Stop paying for breakdowns. Start paying for prevention.

A PM program costs a fraction of what you're spending on emergency repairs, tow bills, and lost loads. Let us build a schedule that keeps every truck running.

Real Results

What Fleet Operators Say

"We lost two trucks to roadside breakdowns in one month before I called Albert's. Set up a bi-monthly PM schedule and haven't had an unplanned breakdown in over a year. They catch the small stuff before it becomes a $4,000 problem on the highway. Best money I spend on my fleet."

Owner, 9-Truck Flatbed Fleet — Delray Beach

"Albert's comes to our yard every month and works through all 15 trucks overnight. When I get in at 7am, every truck has a service report on the seat and they're all ready to run. Never had to worry about DOT compliance since we started with them. Completely reliable."

Fleet Manager, Refrigerated Carrier

"Running one truck, I used to skip PM to save money. Bad idea — ended up with a $2,800 belt and water pump failure that could have been caught for $300. Albert's now comes to wherever I'm parked for PM. Worth every dollar to have the peace of mind that my truck is maintained right."

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my truck get a PM service?
Most manufacturers recommend PM intervals of 15,000–25,000 miles or every 3–6 months, whichever comes first. In Florida's heat and humidity, shorter intervals are often worth it. Call 561-475-8052 and we'll recommend a schedule based on your mileage, operation type, and truck age.
Can you do PM services at night or on weekends?
Absolutely. We schedule PM around your operation — not shop hours. If your trucks are parked overnight or on weekends, that's when we come. Many fleet customers prefer after-hours service to avoid any impact on daily operations.
What does a PM service cost compared to a breakdown repair?
A typical PM service runs $200–$400 depending on scope and vehicle type. The average roadside breakdown repair runs $1,500–$5,000 — plus lost revenue from downtime, tow bills if applicable, and driver waiting time. PM pays for itself on the first breakdown it prevents.
Do you keep records of my fleet's service history?
Yes. We maintain detailed service records for every vehicle we service — what was inspected, what was found, what was replaced, what needs future attention. These records support your FMCSA maintenance record requirements (49 CFR Part 396.3) and protect you during DOT audits.
Can you service different truck brands in the same fleet?
Yes. Most fleets run mixed makes, and we're equipped for all of them. We carry the correct filters, fluids, and specifications for Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Volvo, International, Mack, Western Star, Hino, and Isuzu — all major engine platforms included.
What's included in a Full PM vs Basic PM?
Basic PM covers oil change, fuel filter, tire check, brake visual, fluids, battery terminals, and lighting. Full PM adds coolant testing, air filter service, detailed brake measurement (pushrod stroke), complete grease service, belt and hose inspection, battery load test, air system check, and a DOT readiness review. We recommend Full PM every other Basic.
Can you combine PM with the annual DOT inspection?
Yes — and this is the most efficient way to handle both. We do the Full PM and the FMCSA annual inspection in the same visit. Fixes needed for the inspection are handled on the spot. You get one service call, one decal, one report. Call 561-475-8052 to schedule.
What if you find a problem during PM?
We tell you immediately and categorize it: needs repair now (we fix it on the spot if possible), needs scheduling soon, or monitor and plan. We carry common brake parts, electrical supplies, and fluids — many issues get handled right then. For bigger jobs, we schedule a follow-up visit.
