The Difference Between a Trucking Company and a Professional Fleet
At Flat Out Services, we don’t wait for someone else to fix our trucks — we fix them ourselves.Our in-house diesel mechanics and mobile repair team make sure every Landoll, lowboy, and 9-axle trailer in our lineup is ready to move the heaviest loads in the Southwest without a hiccup.
Downtime costs customers money. That’s why we built a system that keeps our trucks rolling, our schedules tight, and our customers confident.

Maintenance That Starts Before the Haul
Every truck and trailer in the Flat Out fleet goes through a strict inspection protocol before it ever leaves the yard:
Full DOT inspection checklist
Brake and hub temperature check
Hydraulic-line and air-system inspection
Tire-pressure and tread verification
Lighting, conspicuity tape, and ABS diagnostics
Whether it’s a 9-axle RGN or a Landoll tilt-deck, our mechanics inspect it to the same high standard.We don’t cut corners — we find them and tighten the bolts around them.
Kingman Yard: The Nerve Center of Reliability
Our Kingman, AZ facility doubles as a maintenance hub.It’s fully equipped with pit access, overhead cranes, tire and hydraulic service bays, and stocked parts for every trailer configuration we run.
This setup allows us to stage equipment for long hauls, perform quick turnarounds between jobs, and respond instantly if a driver calls in with an issue.Being based in Kingman means we can reach Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Barstow in hours — not days — when repairs or inspections are needed.
Rapid Roadside Response
Breakdowns don’t wait for daylight. That’s why Flat Out runs an on-call repair unit staffed by certified diesel techs.If a driver has an issue mid-route — a blown hydraulic line, a sensor fault, or a flat tire on a 16-tire lowbed — our mobile crew can meet them anywhere along I-40, US-93, or I-10.
We carry spares, diagnostics, and the know-how to get that truck back on the move fast.Every minute saved on the roadside is another mile delivered for the customer.
Preventative Maintenance Means Predictable Service
Instead of reacting to problems, we plan around them.Our preventative-maintenance schedule covers everything from oil analysis to torque audits.Each service is logged and tracked — not just for DOT compliance, but to catch wear patterns before they become downtime.
That’s why our fleet uptime stays above 98 percent, even running in desert heat and long-haul conditions.
Why Customers Care About Maintenance
When you hire a heavy-haul carrier, you’re not just paying for horsepower — you’re paying for dependability.A truck that doesn’t start means a crane that doesn’t set, a scraper that doesn’t dig, and a project that doesn’t stay on schedule.
Our in-house maintenance program ensures the equipment you’re counting on shows up when and where it’s supposed to, every time.
Experience You Can See on the Road
From Las Vegas to Phoenix, from Kingman to Southern California, our trucks look as sharp as they perform.Clean paint, polished aluminum, and tight chains aren’t for show — they’re proof that our team respects the machines and the work.
A well-maintained truck doesn’t just pass inspection; it represents the professionalism that keeps Flat Out’s reputation strong.
The Bottom Line
When reliability matters, Flat Out Services delivers.Our in-house mechanics, Kingman service yard, and mobile repair crews keep our 9-axle, Landoll, and lowboy fleet running like new — day or night, across the entire Southwest.
