HARRISBURG, PA… From the first phone call, day or night, you will get a real person on the phone at Triple K Fleet Services, Inc. The service writer will try to analyze the problem on the telephone to determine if the repairs can be made on the spot or if the truck must be towed into the shop, in addition to determining which additional tools or parts may be needed for the service call.

At Triple K Fleet, they won’t refuse you, they will do their best to take care of you, and this is why Triple K Fleet maintains a “triage lane” for small repairs that can be done relatively quickly. No driver wants to hear “we can take care of it tomorrow”, so Triple K Fleet Services, Inc. has built their business around taking care of their customers right now. With numerous dealers and engine OEMs located nearby, Triple K Fleet has almost instant parts availability for just about any truck or trailer.

Rod Coupal founded the company in 2006. Rod’s father Rene was a Professional Truck Driver for 35 years. Rod started his career as a mechanic and then as Regional Maintenance Manager for St. Johnsbury Trucking. After that, a Field Maintenance Manager and then a Director of Maintenance for New Penn Motor Express. One thing that Rod learned while working in these positions was that uptime is paramount. Rod states, “Put yourself in a driver’s or dispatcher’s shoes. They are under pressure to get a load delivered, they want a repair shop that reacts to their needs. That is why I treat them, and I expect my employees to treat our customers with the courtesy and respect they deserve. Our goal is to get them back on the road as quickly as possible, fixing the problem right – the first time. If the repairs are going to take a day or more, we have rental trucks so they can get their load delivered and loaner cars so they can drive home, rather than spend days in a motel room.”

Triple K Fleet Services, Inc. has two locations, one at 7800 Linglestown Rd. (I-81 Exit 77), Harrisburg, PA and at 1220 Newville Road, (I-81 Exit 44) in Carlisle, PA.
