I'm still in amazement. Highly recommended company.
- Luke R (Google Review) 10 years ago I got my first service van painted by these guys. The professionalism and top-notch quality that they performed help set our business apart from my competitors. I recently just went back and had that same van stripped of the graphics, buffed out the paint a little bit, reapplied graphics and it looks like brand new again. These guys are super professional, honest and stand behind their work.Thank you Troy and Kent!

Frequently Asked Questions
Semi Truck and Service Truck Generator FAQs
What Are the Best Portable Generators?
The best portable generators for trucks depend on factors like power output, fuel type, and intended use. For instance, diesel generators have higher wattage, which is suitable for service trucks running heavy-duty tools and equipment.
Inverter generators, on the other hand, are ideal for truck drivers who need quiet, fuel-efficient power for electronics and appliances.Trucks with PTO systems can use PTO generators, which harness the engine’s power directly—eliminating the need for separate fuel sources.
What Are PTO Generators?
Power take-off or PTO generators convert a truck or tractor’s engine power into usable electricity. They connect directly to the vehicle’s PTO system, which transfers mechanical energy from the engine to the generator. This setup eliminates the need for a separate engine, saving fuel and space.
PTO generators are common in agricultural, construction, and emergency applications where mobile power is essential. They provide a reliable, cost-effective solution for trucks and heavy-duty vehicles requiring on-demand electricity.
How Do Portable Generators Benefit Your Business?
Portable generators keep business operations going even in remote locations or during power outages. For service trucks, they enable the use of equipment, increasing job site efficiency. Moreover, semi-truck drivers rely on them to run in-cab appliances.
By lowering fuel costs and minimizing engine wear, portable generators help you save money on maintenance and operational expenses. Overall, they boost productivity and mobility, making them an asset for businesses that rely on trucks for daily operations.
How Much Does a Service Truck or Semi Truck Generator Cost?
The cost of a portable generator depends on various factors like power capacity, fuel type, and additional features. Larger generators with higher wattage and advanced technology typically cost more than basic units. Installation requirements and customization options also impact the final price.
