Summer in the Midwest brings a certain set of road challenges. Storms, road construction, and highway accidents are three things we encounter a lot while driving in Illinois this time of year. Lucky for you, we have excellent work truck lighting to help you deal with anything summer throws you.
When a truck in your fleet breaks down on the road, not only do you have the expense of the tow bill, but you also have to pay someone to fix it. Instead, save money over the long haul by investing in one or more mechanic service trucks and hiring some good truck technicians. You’ll be able to save money by making many repairs right on the job site or on the side of the road. Even if you have to tow a truck back to the shop, you’ll save on paying the markup on parts and, undoubtedly, on labor costs.
When your truck is not organized, jobs take longer since you have to look for tools. You could also lose tools since they are sliding around in the bed or under the seats. And, with tools out in the open, anyone can steal them! Don’t take your chances with expensive tools. Get your fleet trucks organized with toolboxes and storage solutions from Drake-Scruggs.
