Back to EpisodesWe Replaced 40 Service Vans with Ford Mavericks and Saved Thousands
Description
We swapped 40 Ford Mavericks into our home service fleet — and the results changed the way we think about fleet management.
Most home service companies are overspending on vehicles without realizing it. A new service van can cost $50,000–$60,000 today. A Ford Maverick? Around $27,000. We now run 40 Mavericks inside a 120+ vehicle fleet — and we’ve lowered overhead, reduced accidents, improved fuel economy, and still get the job done without sacrificing operational efficiency.
In this episode, we break down:
→ Why the “you can’t run service out of a small truck” argument is outdated
→ How we use Packout systems and standardized inventory kits to maximize space
→ The sales-to-install model that makes smaller vehicles work at scale
→ The real numbers behind fleet costs, efficiency, and utilization
→ Why two Mavericks can outperform one traditional service van
