"You know who to contact", well said and too true. Great job on the work truck mate and good news for the Freightliner owner ops who are wanting a professional.
We really appreciate the unrushed introduction; this is the closest conversion job we’ve ever seen to what we’re trying to accomplish!
Congrats on the new mobile setup Ryan! Y'all do god's work keeping truckers on our roads & the shelves stocked. If my father was still in trucking, I'd be sending him to you all day!
Thank you! I appreciate the kindness!
I have scene a lot of truck tours but not a u-haul. This is fricken genius sir I’m extremely impressed with your mobile shop! Keep up the good work!
All I can say is WOW!!! Your truck looks great! Good layout. Also Congrats on the Freightliner alliance! Keep the good news coming!
Thanks!
@@truckingandfixing You're welcome! Good luck with your new business!
The truck looks fantastic Ryan. Thanks for the great tour. Cheers.

Thanks Carlos!
Really nice setup!
That pretty cool setup👍 you can tackle any job that comes at you.
Nice setup Ryan!!
Thanks Don!
Great Video Ryan! I really like the truck. What stood out the most for me is the dual line for the compressor, solid for 1” impact and great to switch to regular line for rest of air tools. Can’t wait to see your reel for the 100’ gas hoses. Clean and hope parts stay on the shelf 😬
Thank you Sam! 😊
Looks awesome congratulations love the channel
Thank you!
Very nice setup! Just subbed to support a fellow Ohioian ... Stay safe
Badass 👏🏽 gratz
Nice job with the truck, very handy for your business, lots of luck to you my friend!
Thank you!
Great setup👍✌️
Thank you!
Hey brother I’m here in Cleveland and love the service truck videos! I’m thinking about starting my own business and doing the mobile service first as I can’t yet afford a brick and mortar shop. Keep it up man !
Good luck 👍
Hey A Great Looking Setup
Thanks😀
Just spent $60k building a service truck and all I can hear from the tech is whining and complaints....glad to see there are those of you out there that work with what you can get. If you've got some time would love to hear your input on what we put together.
Also, if you would reach out so I can put you on my vendor list, we've got trucks out there semi infrequently but it's a desert. We run mostly Cascadias with DD13s so if you're setup with the dealer and on Excelerator that would be ideal.
Set up for anything!!!!
Nice setup
Thanks
Look great .. good job
🙏

🙏. Best wishes for you and your family!
I always wondered why roadservive people follow what others do, they buy a new/used regular size pick up truck with storage on sides but can't fit tires along with an air compressor and stuff. This here gad crossed my mind before and would of followed thru but I am not in the field of a road service repair man. Just a truck driver and a few mechanical repairs of my own on my semi truck. Congrats to you my friend you will get far.
Hello Ryan
Got the motor in I see. Looks great. Have you thought about getting the box truck done with a wrap? Looks awesome.
God bless you and yours and keep on keeping on....
Just some decals so far, probably not want to do the whole wrap.
Nice setup. I love those US General boxes but can't get them in the UK.
That’s a nice setup. My 13 speed is making awful noises in 13th gear. Can’t even use it. Sometimes will do it in other gears with the splitter forward. This started a day after my air system went crazy. I had to replace governor and dryer. May be unrelated. Thoughts?
Nice setup! Love the mobile shop! Are you heavy duty mechanic diesel and whatnot or what is your area of work?
I was thinking of making a mobile tool/workshop also. I like your setup, any tips?
Nice setup man how do you have the exhaust for your generator welder
Which oil do you recommend to use in the winter for an isx 15 engine?
the Truck look great, thanks for the video, gps may make the thing go a bit easier, on the road also do you have a vpn and a truck computer, printer for bills you know you cota get paid looks everything really good you aree the master KEEP IT GOING.
I use google navigation on my phone, I do have a computer that I use to plug into trucks for diagnostic. No printer yet. But it should be very easy to get one. Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions
I am northeast Ohio also just started mobile mechanic business
What sizes of coolant hoses do u recommend to carry
Awesome. Ive got an old fedex same size were converting into same thing. Got a shop with huge overhead. 4k a month. Im starting to think mobile is the way to go.
I've had a mobile service on a major resort lake for 8 years already had the customer base for last 24 years and I stay very busy on boats pwc's and utv's and this would work great for me I now work out of a 2017 pickup but I just cant justify the fuel spent etc for my line of work. when I have a major repair I haul it to my shop where I also have my torch chain hoist welder tv radio etc. But this would work for me but Being in Texas I would have a window AC and generator as man does it get hot here. I do see how on a diesel rig this would be needed and its set up nice! Boats have a shop rate like diesels too 100-120 hr plus service call. But wear shorts and dont get greasy I worked in a farm tractor dealership for 3 years lots of diesel but never again. But your set up is nice and most everything you need except parts. I do wish I had a large compressor and parts washer with me at times.
Thanks for sharing! 👌👍
Any advice for tools to keep handy for marina/resort type work? Thinking about offering a type of maintenance/upholstery service myself , thanks in advance!
What do you use to look up labor times?
Where did you get your books?
Great set up. I’ve been thinking of starting a mobile mechanic business where I’m living. My biggest question is how are you disposing of your fluids? I know parts stores will take used oil but only like 5 gallons a month. Do you call a service to come out and take your used oil? Like the shops and dealerships use?
We just bought a used oil furnace to heat up our shop.
Awesome setup! One more question: Are mobile service mechanics allowed to repair trucks at truck stops or must the truck be off the property?
Depends on the truck stop. Some allow it and some don’t. Most of the time stops allow mobile techs to do repairs if they don’t also have a shop, but not always, there are also many stops that say it’s fine for a mobile tech to come work on a truck, but if the tech can’t facilitate repairs in the lot then they have to recommend the customer goes to their shop. This is only what I have observed from the truck stops around my shop. The shop I manage actually doesn’t do tires even though every one of my sister stores does and the company is a continental tire dealer, my reasoning is that I want and encourage the mobile tire guys to replace the tires on my lot instead of the side of the road, this is for the safety of a fellow technician as well as the customer gets the tires replaced and decides to get an alignment, remembers they need a service, wants a hole patched in the trailer or whatever. Business goes around and comes around some people are open to help from competition and some aren’t. By allowing mobile guys to do tires the shop has made $22k more on average quarterly then when we did do tires.
How you register your vehicle with dmv and the state for you to be legal business?
Perfect i need help
Nice set up very professional practical and not over the top. I used to be a mechanic myself and if I was still I would have a set up similar to that one.
I was wondering if I could get your opinion on this hypothetical. If you were a brand new authority and could afford to pay for the insurance in one payment wold you?
Why or why not? I am a one truck one owner llc s corp and plan on running hard for at leas the first year to make as much as I can to help pay for my kids college and some other repairs and add ons i want to make to my home then I will get back to life lol.
Thank you for your service in the military as well as here civilly for us Jack of all trades.
If you run very hard, assuming out most of the days. Authority makes sense. But if you only run half of the days, it doesn’t make sense. The fixed cost is very high.
👍👍
I'm in the process of starting my own mobile diesel repair business (roadside and on-site). The only thing I'm unsure about, is dealing with big companies and the payment process associated with it. Do they pay just like a regular customer or do they make you wait a time period? Any input would be great.
It is really how you negotiate with the companies, you can do net30 term etc or you can have them to pay after each job. Most of my customers are smaller, they paid after the job. Make sure to get a payment processor that accept different cards.
@@truckingandfixing thank you so much! I appreciate your response.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
👍
I would subscribe but you don't post frequent videos.
Is this a 17ft uhaul?
The bottom is 14ft and top with the over hang is 17ft
What you do if someone wont pay.
It is a good question! When we had the mobile service truck, we were lucky, never had someone not paying. Now, we do have people that can’t pay the bill right away, but we work with them. Worst scenario we can remove parts from the truck or put a mechanic lien on their truck.
What part of Ohio do you live in?
Ravenna Ohio
Toolbox your please
Do you want to know more about the toolbox?
