You finally found a solid HVAC tech who shows up on time, knows his stuff, and customers love. Then one bad incident on the road—harsh braking in traffic, a near-miss at a job site, or just frustration with constant van issues—and he’s gone to a competitor offering newer trucks and better support.

Big national fleet leasing companies promise convenience and scale. But for small and mid-sized businesses running vans, pickups, and service vehicles for home repairs, local delivery, and regional work, those big programs often feel more like restrictions than solutions.

Your business is expanding, and your fleet needs to keep up. One day, you need extra vans for a big home-service push. The next month, demand shifts and you’re left with too many vehicles sitting idle. Sound familiar?

Your best driver just gave notice—again. For Southeast small and mid-sized businesses running vans and pickups for home services, local deliveries, and regional work, driver retention is a constant battle.

Your vans and pickups sit in the lot more than they should. Or maybe you're stretching every vehicle to its limit, risking breakdowns during peak home-service season. Either way, you're burning money on assets that aren't pulling their weight.

Your service crews are out every day navigating Charlotte rush hour, Atlanta suburbs, or Raleigh job sites in vans and pickups. One distracted moment, a harsh brake, or a close call can lead to damaged vehicles, injured drivers, skyrocketing insurance rates, and lost revenue while someone’s off the road.

Larry Williams Supply Chain Director, Biscuitville Fresh Southern
"Wilmar has been a wonderful partner for us. I had originally decided to handle our small fleet by myself. I quickly determined that I did not have the expertise. Todd Jones came in and saved us significant time and savings. I had not understood the size and scope of the Company. We are grateful for what they do for us. Makes my life so much easier. "
Bill Wentz CFO, J. R. Cole Industries, Inc.
