Citrus Hills grew from 7,470 residents in 2010 to 9,302 in 2020, and new homes are still going up. If your business keeps service vans, builders’ trucks or trailers working in a community like that, RDI Fleet, RDI Power’s fleet program, is built for you: an owner who would rather plan maintenance than react to breakdowns. The challenge in Citrus Hills is distance: our shop is about 34 road miles away in Brooksville, so a good plan does as much as possible where the trucks already park.
A growing Citrus Hills and the fleets that serve it
Citrus Hills Construction sells new homes in more than 30 styles, so construction is an everyday part of the community. School buses pass through too: the district’s Lecanto office runs buses for Forest Ridge Elementary, Lecanto Middle and Lecanto High, and its Inverness office covers Hernando Elementary and Citrus High, the schools tied to Citrus Hills. Whatever your operation, from 3 pickups and a trailer to a mixed yard of medium and heavy trucks, an RDI Fleet plan starts with a list of the units and what each one does all day.
That list becomes the backbone of the plan. For each unit we record the VIN, engine, mileage or hours and current condition, flag anything with an open problem so it gets handled first, and line up annual inspection due dates. If you do not have a clean list today, building it during a walk-around at your yard is part of getting started.
Yard-first maintenance for Citrus Hills operators
A round trip from Citrus Hills to Donto Way is about an hour and a half of driving before any work starts. Multiply that by every oil change and a small fleet loses days a year to the road. So the plan leans on the yard:
- Routine service on site. Mobile technicians handle inspections, oil and filter changes, chassis lube and many repairs where your trucks sit, scheduled around the hours they are idle.
- Shop visits that count. When a unit needs the bays for engine, transmission or lift work, its PM, open repairs and annual inspection ride along on the same trip; see DOT inspections in Citrus Hills.
- Intervals that fit the work. Miles for trucks that run the highway, engine hours for units that idle on job sites, and calendar dates for buses and trailers. Our preventive maintenance page lists what a PM covers.
Keep or replace: what Citrus Hills fleet reports show
Every visit ends in a digital vehicle inspection with photos and the technician’s notes, filed by unit. After a year, those reports answer the questions fleet owners actually wrestle with. Which truck keeps coming back for the same problem? Which one is worth one more set of tires, and which one is costing more to keep than to replace? Decisions like that are easier with pictures of the wear in front of you than with a pile of invoices. Repairs on the account are backed by the RDI Fleet warranty of 2 years or 24,000 miles.
Roadside and priority service for Citrus Hills fleet accounts
Fleet accounts move to the front of the shop schedule when something breaks, and they have 24/7 roadside assistance for the breakdowns that happen after 4:00 PM or on a Saturday, whether the truck stops on CR-486 or halfway down the Parkway. Light, medium and heavy duty trucks, trailers and buses all fit on 1 plan.
How the program works from first call to first report is on our RDI Fleet maintenance page, and operators based just north can read about yard service on our Pine Ridge fleet maintenance page. Call (352) 433-3800 with a rough count of your Citrus Hills units, and we will talk through what a plan for them looks like.
