Aerospace sets much of the pace in Titusville. Many of the city’s major employers are aerospace companies, Knight’s Armament is believed to be Florida’s largest small arms maker, and Parrish Medical Center is the largest employer of all. Back in 2010, trade, transportation and utilities made up 21.5% of the city’s private business, with construction at 12.0%. The city runs its own Solid Waste Division for garbage, recycling and commercial dumpster pickup Monday through Saturday, and Port Canaveral is less than 30 miles south. All of that keeps trucks moving, and RDI Fleet keeps them maintained on a schedule, with technicians coming out from our Brooksville shop to your yard.
Titusville’s aerospace, trade and construction base
The city describes SR 528 and SR 50 as its direct links to Orlando and Florida’s Turnpike, with I-95 running through town. It promotes an airport industrial park for aerospace and logistics users, and Foreign Trade Zone 136 sits inside city limits. For a fleet manager, that geography means units can spend one day on the interstate and the next crawling around an industrial park or a job site. A good maintenance plan accounts for both kinds of day.
New industrial space and the trucks that build it in Titusville
Growth is visible. Space Coast Innovation Park, next to Space Coast Regional Airport, totals more than 1.1 million square feet of industrial space, and Lockheed Martin announced in January 2025 a $140 million, roughly 225,000-square-foot Titusville facility for Trident II D5 missile components, with up to 300 jobs and operations expected in 2027. Building at that scale around the Titusville airport means dump trucks, mixers, lowboys and crew pickups.
If your fleet works those sites, the plan treats job-site duty for what it is: hours of idling and PTO time, short moves over rough ground and heavy loads. Intervals go on engine hours as well as miles, brakes and tires are inspected for site damage every visit, and the DPF is checked before low-speed work clogs it.
Where RDI Fleet came from, and what it means for Titusville yards
Ryan Bethell built RDI Power out of a mobile unit, keeping fleet trucks running from Brooksville to Tampa before there was ever a shop. RDI Fleet grew from that same idea: the work goes to where the trucks are. For a Titusville operation, that means visits to your yard on booked dates, planned so each trip covers as many units as possible, with heavy jobs scheduled into the Brooksville bays well in advance.
Building a Titusville plan
We start with the roster: each unit’s year, make, engine, mileage or hours and job. Then the duty cycle, which tells us whether a unit runs on mileage, hours or the calendar; the budget, sorted into what needs doing now and what can be planned; and the calendar, including the days your trucks can be spared and when each annual inspection is due. Light, medium and heavy duty trucks, trailers and buses all fit on one account.
Buses and passenger vans in Titusville
Space Coast Area Transit routes 1, 2, 5, 10 and 12 serve Titusville, and Brevard Public Schools reported running 350 school buses countywide as of 2014. If your operation moves people, whether shuttles, a church bus or crew vans, the maintenance belongs on the calendar. A bus that has to be ready on a fixed date gets its PM ahead of that date, with brakes, suspension, doors and the electrical system inspected on a tighter cycle than a work truck. See bus service and repair for more on that side of the work.
A Titusville yard visit, start to finish
On the booked day, the technician checks in, walks the units on the list and works through them in order: the service each one is due, a full inspection with photos, and any repair you approve that can be done without a lift. Before leaving, the technician updates each unit’s record so you can see what was done, what was found and what is coming up. Units with something bigger waiting get a shop date in Brooksville set before the visit ends.
DOT dates and photo records for Titusville units
Federal rules call for an annual inspection on commercial vehicles with a GVWR of 10,001 pounds or more in interstate service, with the report kept for 14 months, and drivers handle the daily pre-trip. A Titusville unit’s annual goes on the books with its PM visit. Every visit produces a digital inspection with photos and technician notes; our DOT inspections page explains what an annual covers.
Warranty, priority and 24/7 roadside for Titusville accounts
Fleet repairs carry a 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty. Fleet units are served first when something breaks between visits, and the account’s 24/7 roadside assistance covers the truck that stops on Challenger Memorial Parkway at night.
