Special Expertise for the Special Needs of Trucks
Trucks are an ARI specialty. With three-quarters of our business derived annually from this important market, ARI is the truck fleet user's provider of choice. We have a 60-year record of leadership and success that truly sets ARI apart, giving us the depth of experience and expertise to manage truck fleet operations in every known commercial and vocational application anywhere in the world.

Today we have the people, programs and processes in place to manage functions from truck acquisition/upfit to replacement cycling/remarketing. ARI truck and equipment experts work together to bulletproof client fleets against costly downtime, driver safety issues, legal liability, higher operating costs, and loss of customers or business.

Our specialists analyze all functions that trucks must perform, operating conditions, annual mileage and other variables, then choose the best unit to do the job at the lowest cost per mile. We also have specialists for the diverse upfitting requested by clients, including installing equipment as simple as a single tool box to building snowplows, service bodies, cranes, dump bodies and hydraulic truck equipment. ARI even owns a premium body company, Fleet Body Equipment, that designs and builds some of the most advanced equipment in use today at petroleum, utility and railroad facilities.

Our connectivity with manufacturers and upfitters gives clients online, real-time access to:

  • Production status, constraints, rebates and fleet incentives
  • Vehicle quoting, ordering and reporting
  • Information on lifecycle cost analysis, environmental impacts, replacement cycling, model comparisons and safety

Intelligent application-based spec development, engineering analysis, vendor selection, and production management are all done with ARI's trademark single-source accountability. This is the driving force behind on-time, trouble-free delivery of special-use vehicles at the lowest possible cost.

 

Customers also come to ARI for the maintenance necessary to keep their trucks on the road. Our TruckServe® maintenance program is a mix of services for clients with medium and heavy-duty trucks (10,000 lb. GVWR or more). It eases day-to-day work management, minimizes downtime and better controls expenses through:

  • A dedicated coordinator with ASE certification and experience in medium/heavy truck repair
  • Customized preventive maintenance schedule that takes into account requirements of the vehicle manufacturer and any upfitting
  • Contract for temporary heavy-duty truck rentals

The essentials of the programs we design for truck fleets can include any of the above and also combine with fuel management services, telematics, licensing, accident management, compliance and environmental programs, strategic consulting, or even services that help companies meet requirements of the Personal Property Tax and Form 2290 Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax.

Individually and collectively, ARI truck services help customers hold down fleet costs, simplify and streamline administration, and provide the quality support that keeps drivers and trucks on the road efficiently serving the company and its customers.
