The other day I was talking to the Battalion Chief for our local fire department, and I was specifically interested in his vehicle replacement strategy. I mean, fire and emergency apparatus are expensive and highly upfitted for their specific job, so it makes sense that you want to get as much life out of them as possible. While we've typically focused on how preventive maintenance can help you extend the life of these assets, it's simply a matter of fact that at some point you'll have to consider. Replacement. But this isn't unique to emergency fleets. Almost every fleet is dealing with aging vehicles, rising maintenance costs, unnecessary downtime, and every fleet manager is trying to find that perfect moment in time to replace a vehicle where it doesn't start costing you unnecessarily while also not retiring it with a lot of good life left in it. When talking to Battalion Chief Hopper, he was walking me through how it makes more sense to throw their ambulances on a new chassis. Rather than having to deal with the long wait times of procuring a new vehicle entirely. Now, obviously an ambulance or a fire truck is a special kind of vehicle, but I was curious as to whether something like this existed for standard fleet assets. And at that same time, I heard from Jonathan Carr with Vehicle Reman letting me know that he'd love to join the show if we ever had a topic that made sense. There's a point when you're getting a repair done every six months, every quarter or whatever, and then there's a time when it started happening where it's really affecting your business and affecting your revenue.
