Fleets near Inverness Highlands South sit at an interesting spot. The neighborhoods are residential, the school buses that serve Pleasant Grove Elementary and Inverness Primary are dispatched from the district’s Inverness bus office, and just past the eastern line Citrus County is building an 80-acre business park at Inverness Airport for aviation manufacturing and logistics. RDI Fleet, the fleet program of RDI Power, works for operations whose trucks are based or busy in that area, from a few pickups to a mixed yard of heavy units.
Fleets working between Inverness Highlands South and the business park
If your fleet is growing with new work around the business park, it may be growing unevenly: a couple of pickups, then a box truck, then a trailer or a heavier unit for a new contract. A maintenance habit that started as changing the oil when it is due stops working somewhere along that path. An RDI Fleet plan is written around how you operate, what you can spend and what you run, and it gets revised as the fleet changes instead of being stretched to fit.
That starts with an inventory of each unit: VIN, engine, mileage or hours, and condition. From there we set intervals by class, flag the units with open problems, and put annual DOT inspections on a staggered calendar.
Yard visits versus the 35-minute run on Snow Memorial Highway
From the middle of Inverness Highlands South, our shop is about 21 road miles away by Pleasant Grove Road and Snow Memorial Highway, roughly 35 minutes each way. Spending over an hour of driving on an oil change does not make sense, so the plan puts that work where your trucks park:
- At the yard: PM services, filters and fluids, brake measurements, tire checks, scans for stored fault codes, digital inspections and many repairs
- In Brooksville: engine and transmission work, alignments, and repairs that need a lift or a teardown
When a unit does come to the shop, it brings everything it has due in the same visit, so the drive happens once.
What an Inverness Highlands South fleet plan tracks
The paperwork side of a fleet plan is where most of its value shows up a year later. After each visit you receive a digital inspection: pictures of worn brake linings, seeping seals or cracked hoses, with the technician’s comments beside them. Stacked up over months, those reports answer the questions a fleet manager actually gets asked. When was unit 4 last serviced? Which trucks have brake work coming? Is that leak getting worse or holding steady? Fleet accounts also move to the front of the shop schedule when a unit has to come in.
Intervals are set unit by unit. A pickup that tows daily gets a shorter oil interval than one that commutes. A truck that idles through a long shift at a construction site is scheduled on its hour meter, since the odometer barely moves. Trailers are tied to the tractor that pulls them, and a bus runs on the calendar so its service lands before the busy stretch. The plan covers light, medium and heavy duty equipment together.
Fleet repairs carry the 2-year, 24,000-mile RDI Fleet warranty, and a fleet unit that breaks down at night can still get roadside help, because that coverage runs 24/7 for fleet accounts.
