Local notes

The Elloree shop is near the I-26 and I-95 corridors, so units based between Columbia and the coast can be inspected at the shop on a run instead of at the yard.

South Carolina heat and humidity are hard on air lines, wiring insulation, and seals, which are worth a close look during the inspection.

Midlands fleets running I-26 to the port can schedule yard inspections between runs.

The federal inspection report must be kept for 14 months (49 CFR 396.21).

All Fleet Inc mobile truck and trailer repair technicians serve the Columbia area, within our typical service area, typically a 90-minute ETA or less. Call (833) 255-3533 or request service online.

We will give you an exact arrival time once your service call is set up.

Questions

Do you inspect at our yard?

Yes, in the Columbia area.

Should we inspect before the summer heat?

Many fleets prefer to. Heat exposes weak air hoses, wiring, and batteries, so catching worn parts during a spring inspection can prevent summer breakdowns on I-26 and I-20.

Can you fix defects found?

Many can be repaired on the same visit, with your approval.
