Owner-Operators Fleet Repair
Your rig is your business. We protect both.
How IFS keeps owner-operators moving.
For an owner-operator, the truck is not just a vehicle — it is the entire business. There is no fleet of backup units, no maintenance department, and no dispatcher to manage a repair situation. When a solo operator goes down on the side of the highway, every hour the truck sits is revenue that cannot be recovered. IFS was built for exactly this situation: mobile, asset-based repair that comes to the broken-down unit, diagnoses it on the spot, and resolves it as fast as the work allows — so the operator can get back to earning.
Owner-operators and small-fleet carriers often get underserved by the commercial repair market. Truck stops have service bays that book out and may not have the right parts. Dealer shops are often scheduled weeks out for non-warranty work. IFS is 100% asset-based — we send our own trained technicians directly to the vehicle, with the tooling and common parts to handle most repairs in a single visit. And when a breakdown happens somewhere outside our direct footprint, our partner vendor network means no one stays stranded.
We also offer preventive maintenance programs sized for solo operators and small fleets — scheduled visits timed around load commitments so the truck gets serviced without missing a pickup or delivery. Catching a failing wheel seal or a worn brake lining before it becomes a roadside event is the difference between a minor expense and a catastrophic loss day.

Owner-Operators questions.
I'm an owner-operator broken down on the highway at midnight. Can you actually help?
Yes. Call 1-888-589-9281 right now — we answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. IFS is 100% asset-based, so we dispatch our own credentialed technicians in fully stocked service trucks. You get a real IFS mechanic on scene, fast.
Do owner-operators have to have an account set up in advance, or can I call as a new customer?
You can call as a first-time customer. We do not require pre-registration to dispatch emergency service. Have your unit location and a description of the problem ready and we will get moving.
Can IFS help me set up a PM schedule so I stop getting blindsided by breakdowns?
Yes, and for owner-operators this is where we add the most long-term value. We schedule PM visits around your load commitments — inspections, brake service, tire checks — so failures become rarer and less expensive over time.
Will you work on an older truck, or do you only service newer equipment?
Age is not a barrier. IFS technicians work across a wide range of model years and makes. If we can fix it on the road, we will — regardless of how many miles are on the odometer.
Broke down? We're already rolling.
One call puts an asset-based technician on the way — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
