Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most popular upfits for construction vehicles?

Some of the most popular upfits include logos, branding, decals, floor drawers, roof racks, ladder racks, power locks, drawer units, hitch accessories, pickup truck hitches, Tonneau covers, and truck bed covers. But that’s just the start. We provide upfitting services for all types of vehicles (including EVs!) and can customize your upfits to your exact needs. 

How long does the upfitting process take?

It depends on the number of vehicles and which types of upfits you’ve chosen. Contact Merchants to discuss your upfit needs, and our team can provide more detailed information about potential costs and timeframe.

What are the benefits of a construction fleet management solution?

Benefits include lower costs, improving fleet safety, easily tracking your fuel spend, and full visibility into vehicle lifecycle costs. Contact us for more information — we’d be happy to review the many advantages!

How quickly can I get vehicles delivered?

Our robust transportation network enables us to deliver vehicles nationwide within 7–14 days. With fast delivery times, you can grow your fleet quickly and keep your operations running smoothly.

Can we brand our vehicles with company logos or wraps?

Of course! We can help you design and apply custom branding, from full wraps to decals, so your fleet reflects your professional image and reinforces your brand wherever you go. Just note that for short-term rentals, you’ll be responsible for the cost of upfits, and they can’t affect the vehicle’s condition. At the end of the rental period, we ask that you return the vehicle to its original condition.

What options do you offer for managing a large construction job that requires many vehicles?

We offer flexible rental and leasing programs designed to scale with your needs, including short-term rentals and peak-period leases. These options ensure you can adjust your fleet size efficiently during a busy period without long-term commitments.
