Kissimmee is the largest city in Osceola County and its county seat, and much of the county’s public machinery is based here. Kissimmee Utility Authority, the city’s municipal electric system since 1901, had 289 employees serving about 100,000 customers as of January 2026. Kissimmee Public Works includes a Solid Waste division. The Osceola school district’s central transportation office is at 401 Simpson Road, and LYNX leases a facility from the city for a 41-bus fleet, under a lease that runs to 2031. When a public route is missed, people notice. A contractor’s missed job or a late delivery gets noticed too, just by fewer people, and a written maintenance plan is the best defense against both. RDI Fleet, RDI Power’s fleet program, is how we build one for a private Kissimmee operator.
Two duty cycles in one Kissimmee fleet: Turnpike miles and US 192 traffic
A truck based in Kissimmee can spend Monday on Florida’s Turnpike and Tuesday in US 192 traffic, and those two days wear it very differently. The Turnpike carries about 23,135 trucks a day near the city: steady highway miles at speed, easy on brakes, hard on tires and wheel ends over distance. US 192 and US 17-92, both listed by MetroPlan Orlando as important freight corridors, are signal-to-signal driving with heavy brake use, long idle and cooling systems working hard in the heat.
An RDI Fleet plan sets intervals unit by unit, by miles, engine hours or calendar. Highway tractors usually earn longer mileage intervals. Box trucks and vocational units that spend the day in corridor traffic are better tracked on hours, with brakes measured at every visit. When a unit’s job changes, its interval changes with it, and the inspection history tells us when an interval needs to tighten.
Buses, shuttles and trailers on a Kissimmee plan
RDI Fleet covers light, medium and heavy duty trucks, plus trailers and buses. For a private bus or shuttle operator, that means brakes, suspension, doors, the electrical demands that come with carrying passengers and the diesel engine itself, all planned around the calendar so the work lands before the busy weeks rather than in the middle of them. Trailers are inspected for brakes, bearings, lights and tires on a schedule of their own, lined up with the tractor’s visit when they run as a pair. Our bus service and repair page covers the passenger side in detail.
Setting up a new yard near Kissimmee Gateway Airport
The City of Kissimmee owns Kissimmee Gateway Airport, which has a 6,000-foot and a 5,000-foot runway, two fixed-base operators and flight training and aviation mechanic schools, and it advertises 100 acres of aviation and industrial property ready for long-term lease. An operator moving into a new yard, there or anywhere else in Kissimmee, has the best possible moment to start maintenance right. A technician walks every unit on day one and records its engine, its hours or miles and its condition. Intervals are set before the first breakdown, annual inspection dates go on the calendar, and the service history starts clean with the first visit.
Yard service around your Kissimmee schedule
Routine work comes to you. A technician arrives from Brooksville with diagnostic tools and the equipment for oil and filter service, fuel filters and water separators, coolant, belts and hoses, brake measurements, air-system checks, tire inspection, battery testing and a scan for stored and pending codes. Visits are booked on the days your units can be spared, and several trucks can be handled in one trip. Jobs that need a lift or a teardown, such as major engine or transmission work, are planned into our Brooksville shop with you, with any due maintenance combined into the same visit.
Reports a Kissimmee fleet manager can act on
Every visit ends with a digital vehicle inspection: photos of each finding and the technician’s notes, filed under the unit. Items that affect safety or are about to strand the truck are flagged for approval that day. Everything else is listed with a recommended timing, so the next quarter’s spending is visible in advance. After a year, the file for each truck answers the questions that matter at budget time, including which units cost the most to keep running and which one has reached the point where replacing it beats repairing it again.
When a unit throws a code between visits, it is diagnosed by people who have seen it before. RDI’s team includes a service advisor with 35 years as a Chevrolet dealership technician and a Ford specialist with more than 30 years at a Ford dealership, and the shop is Caterpillar certified with ASE certified technicians.
