Waste & Recycling
Routes start early. So do we.
Garbage trucks stop hundreds of times a day under heavy loads, and a missed pickup is a complaint. MFS repairs and maintains collection trucks at your yard so they're ready before the route starts.
Why collection trucks take a beating
Few trucks work as hard as a garbage truck. Constant stopping, heavy loads and long idle times wear out brakes and engines far faster than highway driving.
Brakes and air systems wear out quickly from constant stopping.
We inspect and repair brakes and air systems at every PM, before they become a safety issue on the route.
Long idle hours clog aftertreatment systems and trigger derates.
We diagnose and repair DPF, EGR and aftertreatment issues on site, so trucks don't lose a day at a dealer.
A truck that fails at 5 a.m. means a missed route.
We service trucks at your yard after routes end and respond 24/7 to breakdowns.
