QUESTIONS

Rate FAQ.

Why does the rate depend on weight, not gas or diesel?

Heavier trucks need bigger tools, lifts and parts, and the jobs take more handling. Weight class is a fair, simple way to price that, so a gas F-350 and a diesel F-350 pay the same rate.

Where do I find my truck’s GVWR?

On the sticker in the driver’s door jamb (it says GVWR). It’s the factory weight rating, not what the truck weighs today. You can also find your truck or just tell us the year, make and model.

My truck is lifted or modified. Does the rate change?

No. We use the factory GVWR on the door-jamb sticker. Modifications can change how long a job takes, and the estimate will reflect that.

What about RVs and motorhomes?

We use the chassis GVWR. Most Class C and many Class A gas coaches fall in Class 2–6; large diesel pushers over 26,000 lb are Class 7–8. See RV service.

Are parts included in the hourly rate?

No. Parts and fluids are itemized separately on your estimate so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

Do you have fleet pricing?

Fleets use the same class rates with service plans, scheduling around your routes and per-truck records. See fleet service.
