3 Core Fleet Units to Maximize Jobsite Efficiency

The upswing of commercial construction projects, highway construction, pipeline infrastructure, solar and wind farms, and fiber-to-home projects nationwide has caused an increase in the need for reliable, custom work trucks and utility trailers. Having the right vehicles and rental equipment is crucial for fleet management and unit optimization, as it can significantly impact your operations.

When selecting the core units for your fleet, half-ton and ¾-ton pickup trucks, open and enclosed service bodies and flatbeds are versatile, dependable assets. Learn why these 3 full-size trucks are the backbone of any successful project and fleet.

1. Ford, Chevy, and Ram Pickup Trucks

Pickup trucks are a standard unit for any fleet size or project type. The flexibility of pickup trucks makes them crucial for various applications, like hauling equipment, carrying tools, transporting personnel and materials, and more.

One key advantage of having pickup truck rentals in your fleet is their ability to navigate through tight spaces and cross rough terrains with ease. Whether your project is a rugged construction site or in an urban setting, pickups offer the agility needed to get your job done.

Premier Truck Rental has a variety of different sizes and brands of pickups available for rent. Choose from half-ton or 3/4-ton pickups, as well as Ford Mavericks and both Chevy EVs and Ford Lightning electric trucks.

2. Open and Enclosed Service Bodies

Open and enclosed service bodies are perfect for enclosed workspaces, equipment protection, and tool storage and organization. Utility bodies in your fleet are important for productivity, making sure your crew has the tools they need easily accessible.

By incorporating service body rentals into your fleet, you can streamline operations and maximize productivity on the job site. Mechanics, electricians, plumbers, and other service professionals can carry everything they need to perform their tasks efficiently, eliminating the need for multiple trips for equipment.

We have multiple ¾-ton, 1-ton, and 2-ton open service bodies, as well as 2-ton enclosed service bodies available for rent.

3. Ready-to-Work Flatbeds

Flatbed trucks are perfect for moving materials, hauling heavy loads, and transporting personnel to and from your site. Having an open bed design and platform deck space, flatbeds are ideal for transporting construction materials or pulling a trailer.

Heavy-duty flatbed trucks offer unmatched versatility and payload capacity. PTR partners with Bedrock Truck Beds in providing high-quality platform trucks with a diamond-plate design, coming standard with headache racks and stake pockets. Premier Truck Rental has ¾-ton, 1-ton, 2-ton, 6500/3-ton flatbeds available for rent.

You can easily customize all three core fleet units – pickup trucks, utility bodies, and flatbeds – with unique upfits based on your projects. Premier Truck Rental has an in-house upfit department, having technicians on-staff to build and install accessories on your fleet rentals before hitting your job site.

The most common upfits that we see on pickups, service trucks, and flatbeds are:

• Pickup Trucks – Truck Topper, Brush Guard with Winch, and Cross box
• Service Bodies – Hose Reel, Ladder Rack, 3-in-1 Welder/Compressor/Generator, Lube Skid, Back Step and Toolbox
• Flatbeds – Toolbox, Ladder Rack, Transfer Tank and Pump, C-Tech Manufacturing Tool Drawers, Lift Gate

Customized pickup trucks, service bodies, and flatbeds are the core components of a well-equipped fleet. By investing in these trucks, businesses can enhance crew productivity.
