Westchase was approved by Hillsborough County commissioners in 1991 and grew into a planned community right against the Pinellas County line, next door to Oldsmar. A business based here is a short drive from another county, so its trucks rarely care where one county ends. RDI Fleet, RDI Power’s fleet program, is set up the same way. The plan follows your trucks, technicians come out from our Brooksville shop to wherever they park, and visits are scheduled around the hours they are not working.
Sizing a plan for a small Westchase fleet
Fleet maintenance is not only for companies with a yard full of tractors. A contractor with 3 pickups, a service company with a few vans, or a landscaper with 2 trucks and a trailer faces the same problem at a smaller scale: a truck down for a day is a crew that cannot work.
For a small fleet, an RDI Fleet plan looks like this:
- An inventory. Each unit’s VIN, engine, mileage and condition, plus anything already wrong.
- A calendar. Service intervals set by mileage, hours or date for each truck, with its annual inspection date alongside if it needs one.
- Yard visits. A technician services the units that are due in one trip, so no one drives a truck to a shop and waits.
- Reports. A digital vehicle inspection with photos after every visit, so you know what each truck needs next and can plan the spending.
Priority service comes with the account, so when one of your few trucks breaks down, it moves to the front of the line.
Light duty diesels in Westchase work fleets
Small fleets often run diesel pickups and vans, and those engines reward careful maintenance. Fuel filters and water separators protect high-pressure injection systems that are expensive to replace; our fuel injection page explains why. Newer Power Stroke and Duramax engines use glow plugs for starting, and a failing one shows up as hard starts and rough idle long before it strands the truck. DEF systems and particulate filters need attention on trucks that make short trips. A plan catches those things at a scheduled visit instead of on the road.
Our technicians use dealer-level diagnostics, Ford IDS on Ford and WiTECH on Ram, and our team includes a service advisor with 35 years at a Chevrolet dealership, so GM diesels get the same depth.
A Westchase fleet’s first year on a plan
The first visit is the heaviest. The technician inventories every truck, runs a full inspection and flags anything already worn or leaking, and those catch-up repairs get scheduled first so every unit starts the plan in known condition.
After that, visits settle into a rhythm. Each truck comes due by its own interval, and the technician services whichever units are due on each trip, so on most visits only part of the fleet is touched. Findings that are not urgent go on the next visit’s list instead of becoming surprise repairs.
At the 12-month mark, the reports tell a story. You can see which truck has needed the most work, whether any interval should be shortened or stretched, and what next year’s maintenance budget should look like. For a 3-truck Westchase business, that review can be the first time anyone has seen a full year of each truck’s history in one place.
Westchase traffic and the case for yard visits
FDOT’s 2025 counts put about 10,529 trucks a day on the Veterans Expressway near Westchase and about 3,078 on SR-580 between Lafayette and Countryway boulevards. Every trip a work truck makes through that traffic to a shop is time off the job. Yard visits remove most of those trips; only the jobs that truly need a bay, such as a transmission rebuild or internal engine work, go to Brooksville, on a day you choose.
Westchase warranty and around-the-clock coverage
Repairs under an RDI Fleet account carry a 2-year / 24,000-mile fleet warranty. Accounts also include roadside assistance 24/7, from people who already have the truck’s history on file.
Every part of a Westchase plan traces back to the RDI Fleet maintenance program.
