Fleet

Values from 1928, trucks from today

We have a 1800 unit fleet which is the newest and best maintained in the business.

And a 24/7 central breakdown center with 12 complete maintenance facilities. So you can sleep better at night.

Information Technology

Technology you Want

Our investment in technology and our proprietary information systems have enabled us to improve inventory management, delivery efficiencies and controls and provide secure, timely, reporting to our customers, reducing cycle time and increasing the accuracy of information exchanges. We are also introducing new GPS technologies and a paperless reporting system.

We like to stay cutting edge, as long as safety and value are maintained, so we’ve invested in state-of-the art strap technology for our fleet (not the retrofits).

We listen to your needs and we deliver.   

Environment

Preserving the Great View

We’re talking about preserving the great view by staying ahead of the curve in our commitment to the environment. Being compliant with the EPA isn’t enough. We’re also an active member of SmartWay and have instituted initiatives to reduce oil consumption and waste. We recycle all fluids and monitor engine idle time on an ongoing basis.
