Learn the true secret to keeping your diesel technicians loyal and your fleet running at maximum uptime in this episode with our returning guests, Kyle and Kevin Coltrain of Coltrain Onsite! They share their explosive first year in the mobile fleet maintenance game, scaling to over 100 employees and 70 technicians out in the field across 15 states.  We also break down the very real issues in the freight industry, from the technician shortage to why empowering your mechanics is your ultimate competitive advantage. These guys are completely shifting the landscape of heavy-duty truck repair and fleet preventative maintenance by doing things the right way—focusing on elite customer service, eliminating the industry standard of "pencil-whipping," and building true accountability.
