I am the fleet manager for Legacy Service Partners, which is a private equity owned conglomerate of residential HVAC, plumbing and electrical businesses. With our significant acquisition growth over the last 3.5+ years, Merchants has been an instrumental partner as our fleet has expanded from 200 vehicles to 1,700+ today. Merchants has helped drive strategy and support leading to cost savings and overall efficiency. I would personally recommend them as the premier fleet management company.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of home service companies do you support?
We work with HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home service businesses that depend on reliable service vehicles to keep technicians on the road. Our solutions are designed specifically for high-volume, high-utilization fleets that need predictable costs, faster vehicle availability, and standardized upfits.
How does flexible fleet leasing work?
Flexible leasing allows you to scale your fleet up or down without long-term commitments or the capital burden of ownership. Instead of purchasing vehicles, you lease them at a predictable monthly rate — reducing upfront costs, minimizing asset risks, and improving cash flow.
What makes your leasing different from traditional dealership or commercial leasing?
Dealerships provide vehicles. We provide work-ready fleet solutions, including:
- Faster access to service-ready vehicles
- Standardized upfits pre-configured for HVAC, plumbing, & electrical
- Replacement vehicles when needed
- Maintenance management and operational oversight
This creates a true lifecycle partnership rather than a transactional vehicle purchase.
What types of vehicles are available through ReadyFleet?
ReadyFleet offers a range of work-ready vans and trucks commonly used in home services — including cargo vans, box trucks, pickups, and high-roof service vehicles. All units can be delivered with standardized upfit packages tailored to your trade.
What is included in a standardized upfit?
Upfits can include shelving, partitions, ladder racks, storage modules, lighting, power inverters, safety accessories, branding options, and more. Each package is configured to reduce technician downtime and maximize efficiency.
How fast can I get vehicles?
ReadyFleet is designed for speed. Because vehicles and upfits are pre-configured, delivery times are significantly faster than traditional ordering channels. Many customers receive work-ready vehicles weeks or months sooner than OEM or dealer pipelines.
Can I customize my upfits?
Yes. While many clients prefer standardized configurations to streamline operations, custom upfits can be developed based on your business needs and technician workflows.
How does this help control fleet costs?
Our approach helps minimize financial surprises through:
- Fixed, predictable monthly costs
- Reduced maintenance-related downtime
- Lower upfront capital requirements
- Faster replacement for out-of-service vehicles
- Standardized equipment that reduces waste and errors
This creates greater operational stability and a more efficient cost structure.
Does this help technicians stay on the road more?
Yes — every component is built around uptime. Faster access to vehicles, rapid replacements, and standardized upfits reduce downtime and get technicians to more jobs per day.
What is TotalView?
TotalView is Merchants’ proprietary fleet management platform that gives you detailed, up-to-the-minute data about your fleet. It offers a wealth of vehicle-specific information, customizable dashboards, and more. Our experts have designed it to give you the information you need to make informed, data-based decisions, ultimately lowering your total cost of ownership (TCO). Learn how TotalView combines with our consulting to help you optimize your fleet.
What can I track in TotalView?
TotalView offers visibility into:
- Vehicle health & maintenance alerts
- Utilization and route efficiency
- Fuel and operating costs
- Lease status and lifecycle timing
- Driver behavior insights
- Upcoming replacements or service needs
This helps home service businesses proactively manage their fleet rather than react to issues.
