Class 7 and 8 trucks. Every system, one shop.
Day cabs and sleepers, vocational trucks, refuse, fuel, dump and tractor units. ATEL handles the collision, the frame, the diesel mechanical, the DPF, the paint and the fleet PM under one roof. The reason fleets consolidate their heavy iron with us instead of routing trucks to four vendors.
Built around the platforms your operation actually runs.
Most regional shops handle either body or mechanical, not both, and almost none are equipped for full coach-length refinish. ATEL was designed for the way heavy-duty fleets actually consume service: one intake, one estimate, one delivery — covering body, frame, diesel, emissions and paint in the same building.
We work with owner-operators, regional and national carriers, government procurement, and municipal fleets. Class 7 vocational and Class 8 line-haul share most of our shop floor.
