Defending the Road: Mobile Maintenance & The Fight for Uptime!

In the 2026 freight market, a truck in the shop is a liability, but a truck on the road is an asset. The difference between the two is your maintenance strategy. On this episode, I’m joined by Chris Boyce, a leader at Coltrain Onsite Fleet Care, to discuss how mobile maintenance is revolutionizing the way carriers manage their fleets. We move past the "break-fix" mentality and dive into a strategic approach that brings the repair shop directly to the yard. Chris explains how onsite care not only maximizes uptime but also serves as a critical shield against DOT compliance issues and rising Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). What we cover in this deep dive: The Uptime Advantage: Why waiting for a shop bay is a "profit killer" and how onsite service centers handle 95% of routine repairs. Mobile Compliance: Using onsite diagnostics and preventative maintenance (PM) to stay ahead of roadside inspections and regulatory crackdowns. Technician Culture: How Coltrain is solving the industry-wide tech shortage through a family-driven, ownership-based culture. Strategic Fleet Care: Balancing maintenance for everything from last-mile delivery vans to heavy-duty big rigs and yard spotters. The ROI of Prevention: Why "Strategic Prevention" is the only way to survive a tightening market with shrinking margins. If you are a fleet owner looking to reduce operational costs or a broker interested in carrier reliability, this conversation with Chris Boyce is your blueprint for a road-ready business.
