Get Your Fleet in Good Operating Shape Before Peak Season

HTL TeamMay 31, 2023Last Updated September 16, 2026

It’s critically important to have your fleet in good operating shape before peak season, so that you can focus on successful execution rather than expensive damage control. 

Proactive fleet upgrades - whether that’s expanding volume or replacing old vehicles - ensure a smoother, more predictable peak season. 

When is it time to upgrade your fleet? It’s a best practice to refresh the oldest vehicles in your fleet on a yearly basis, so that you stay ahead of the costly maintenance curve. We recommend a yearly refresh of 10%-20% of your trucks on routes that average 150 miles or less per day. 

We know this undertaking has historically been challenging and expensive, and that it can present a barrier to contractor success - which is why Hello Truck Lease created a way to offer our customers all-new leased fleets with repairs and maintenance covered by us.

We want you to succeed. Instead of running used vehicles with heavy repair and maintenance costs, or financing new vehicles with high down payments and sales tax, we help you hit the road in brand-new trucks at zero cost to entry. 

  • No down payments
  • No sales tax or plate costs
  • All* repair and maintenance expenses included in the fixed-lease payment

The Hello Truck Lease program offers significant month-over-month cash flow savings, in addition to adding a crucial degree of predictability to your financial projections.
