Description

Brian Vesley, was asked to descrbe the nature of the business and said,"We are the equivalent of an auto body repair shop for commercial vehicles, trucks, cranes, busses, and fire trucks. We have a facility that's large enough to do that along with the specialized equipment to handle a vehicle that's 3 to 4 times the size of an automobile." He continued, "In order to properly do collision and paint work on these vehicles, you need a very large paint booth and ours is 50' long and 16'high and 14' wide. This will accommodate a large truck, a moving van, a fire truck, and so on.

There are several fine paint manufacturers in the market. Make certain that the brand and type of paint is listed in your quote. Each manufacturer has several grades of paints and primers. Fire truck paint is expected to stand up to heavy wear, so usually the highest grade is called for. A clear coat is often added for additional durability and easy maintenance. Good bodyshops will have literature from the manufacturer to assist your choice.

The opportunity, according to Brian, resulted from two factors: "First, some truck fleets had stopped doing in-house painting because they were not willing to invest in the equipment required to meet new environmental laws.

Safeway has been meeting the heavy duty towing needs of commercial truck and bus fleets since 1979.
