HOW TO MAKE BETTER TRAILER PARTS WITH COMPETITIVE PRICE

With recent changes in estimating systems, determining blend times now requires an "on-the-spot" evaluation by repair shops. While the 50% formula for blend times remains the default in some systems, industry experts emphasize the need for vehicle-by-vehicle evaluations. At the recent Collision Industry Conference (CIC), industry leaders discussed the importance of adjusting blend times based on specific factors like vehicle type and repair complexity. Read more about the evolving approach to blend time estimation in the collision repair industry. #CollisionRepair #BlendTimes #RepairShop

What is it going to take for the DOT and FMC to get involved to start removing pool chassis that are not street legal and to start fining these providers into submission? Talk to any contracted repair facility and each one will have horror stories of what it takes to get permission to actually repair something that needs to be fixed, if they get permission at all. Most of the time, the chassis providers will deny the request and make the shop just put the chassis out to be used again without ever being fixed. If you ever go to a lot of empty chassis, look across them, just the ones that have bent frames. It will be eye opening. If you bother to look at them even closer, it won't be hard to find broken welds, leaking hubs, brakes that are caged, retreads about to come off, brake cylinders hanging, etc. Some of these things can be found with a pretrip, but a lot is hidden once a container is placed on them. This is the exact reason we charge for daily chassis usage, even when customers pay directly to pool chassis providers. We do not haul any containers and not charge for chassis. This money doesn't make us rich. It goes into a pool of money that we use on service calls to fix these chassis once they break down. We have a new provider in town, FPPZ. Yes, their chassis look newer, but they pick the cheapest retreads on the market. We are averaging a service call on 1 of 3 using their chassis. We have yet to pull any of their 20' chassis and not have a blow out. Since they have entered our market, our service calls have increased 50% from the previous year.
