NFS President, Jerry Hill explains. “We provide the support P&J needs to not only maintain day-to-day operations, but also to find innovative and creative opportunities to improve efficiency and quality on specific projects.” A significant portion of all repairs and services on our equipment are performed by our own mechanics, either in the field or in one of our maintenance shops. Much of P&J’s work is performed in remote areas, and using in-house field mechanics means we don’t always have to source or schedule access with third parties. We can manage repairs and routine maintenance more effectively and in a more timely manner, saving projects from costly downtime without sacrificing safety of the job. When machines do need more extensive repairs, NFS is equipped to transport them to our shops, or to a dealer’s facility. We have decades-long relationships with our national accounts to supplement our own services, and they help us work with dealers, maintain warranties, and support our service needs across the country. NFS and P&J Operations Managers collaborate on the best fleet configuration that is appropriate for the task at hand. We’re always looking to add value by saving on overhead while meeting our team’s high standards.
Because we have control over our fleet, P&J can also modify equipment when we see room for improvement. From simple attachment modifications to complete safety systems, our mechanics have the skills and tools to tailor our equipment for the actual conditions of the field. In all aspects of P&J, our fleet services personnel are concerned with safety. Equipment used for heavy land clearing is fitted with special fire suppression systems and additional guarding around the cab and machine before it is used in the field. Clearing operations expose equipment operators to additional hazards, like falling trees, and this kind of customization is a part of our commitment to putting People First.
