Interstate Fleet Services

What Interstate Fleet Services does

Interstate Fleet Services (IFS) is a family-owned, 100% asset-based mobile commercial truck and trailer repair company operating 24/7/365 across 35+ service locations in 8 U.S. states (Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas). The company employs CEO and President Byron Tarlton, with corporate roots in Horsham, PA, and delivers six core service lines from a single 1-888-589-9281 dispatch entry point: 24/7 Mobile Emergency Road Service, Mobile Truck Repair (engine, electrical, air, brakes), Mobile Trailer Repair, Commercial Tire Service, Transport Refrigeration/Reefer (Thermo King and Carrier Transicold), and Fleet Preventive Maintenance with DOT inspections. All services share the same owned-truck, owned-technician delivery model, supplemented by a partner vendor surge network, and are dispatched to the breakdown site (roadside, dock, or yard) rather than performed at a fixed shop.

Technically, IFS operates no proprietary software platform — its "technology" stack is physical: fully-stocked service trucks carrying diesel diagnostic equipment, air brake and ABS components, lighting, commercial tires, and reefer service parts. The company services 30+ OEM and engine brands (Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Volvo, Mack, International, Western Star, Hino, Ford Trucks, Isuzu, UD, Sterling, Cummins, Detroit, PACCAR). There is no API, no mobile app, and no disclosed AI/ML capability.

Commercially, IFS runs a direct-to-customer, transaction-based revenue model. Pricing is quote-based per service call and not publicly disclosed. Customer acquisition relies on a toll-free phone number and local SEO via city-specific coverage pages; there is no content marketing, blog, or active social media presence. The customer base is horizontal across four use-case segments: over-the-road commercial trucking fleets (primary), refrigerated/food logistics, JIT manufacturing supply chains (e.g., Ford, Fuyao Glass, Wright-Patterson AFB corridors), and e-commerce/distribution centers (e.g., Amazon, Walmart, Target). The company is privately held with no institutional investment, no M&A history, no patents, and no disclosed funding.

Core offering

Interstate Fleet Services delivers 100% asset-based, 24/7/365 mobile repair for commercial trucks, trailers, and refrigerated units. Fully-stocked service trucks and employed diesel technicians are dispatched directly to customer locations — roadside, at distribution docks, or in staging yards — to handle engine, electrical, brake, tire, trailer structural, and transport refrigeration repairs, plus scheduled DOT inspections and preventive maintenance.

Product overview

Interstate Fleet Services offers a unified, 100% asset-based mobile truck repair service operating 24/7/365 across multiple markets in the U.S. The portfolio consists of six core mobile service lines: 24/7 Mobile Emergency Road Service (the single-point entry for any breakdown), Mobile Truck Repair (engine, electrical, air, and brake diagnostics and repair), Mobile Trailer Repair (structural, electrical, and component work), Commercial Tire Service (roadside and scheduled tire replacement), Transport Refrigeration/Reefer (thermo King and Carrier Transicold unit repair), and Fleet Preventive Maintenance (scheduled PM and DOT inspections). All six services share the same delivery model — fully-equipped service trucks rolling to the breakdown point — and share a common asset base of owned trucks, owned technicians, and a partner vendor network. The services are offered across 35+ service locations covering nine primary metropolitan markets plus surrounding communities.
