Both Elite and Myles have earned reputations across Georgia for safety, reliability and a relentless commitment to customer satisfaction, making them a perfect fit for what we’re building at True North. By combining our strengths, we’re delivering even greater value to Elite and Myles’ customers.

    Todd Myles, founder of Myles Truck Repair, said, “For the past 13 years, we’ve delivered best-in-class truck repair services to customers across Atlanta, playing a vital role in keeping our city’s roadways safe.

With True North’s backing, we’ll expand our service offerings and reach new end markets, unlocking further value for our customers and employees, while preserving our brand identity.”

    “True North shares our vision and deeply values what we’ve built,” added Jimmy Knight, Founder of Elite Diesel. “Their team’s respect for our culture and shared commitment to quality, team collaboration and customer satisfaction makes them the ideal partner as we enter this next chapter of growth. With access to True North’s advanced service technology, capital support, data systems and back-office infrastructure, we’ll deepen our reach across the Southeast, invest further in our people and continue delivering strong customer ROI.”

    True North’s partnerships with Elite Diesel and Myles follows its previously announced partnerships with Billy Bob’s Repair & Tire, a San Antonio, Texas-based full-service repair operator, and PennFleet, a fleet services operator headquartered in Philadelphia.

  • Epika partners with Texas-based AFS; linked with M.E.S.O. earlier this year

    Epika partners with Texas-based AFS; linked with M.E.S.O. earlier this year

    Epika Fleet Services, Inc. recently announced a partnership with Accelerated Fleet Services (AFS), a leading provider of mobile and in-shop fleet maintenance solutions serving the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston markets. The addition of AFS expands Epika’s presence in one of the country’s most critical freight corridors and reinforces its commitment to fast, dependable fleet service wherever and whenever it’s needed, according to a statement from the two companies.

    Founded in Texas, AFS has earned a reputation for its comprehensive truck and trailer repair capabilities, anchored by a full-service shop in Saginaw, Texas and supported by a team of mobile technicians across the region. AFS was recently recognized as a Top 10 Fleet Service Provider in the United States by Logistics and Transportation Review.

    “Accelerated Fleet Services represents the best of what Epika looks for in a partner,” said Todd Browning, COO of Epika Fleet Services. “Their team’s technical expertise, operational discipline, and customer-first mindset align perfectly with our mission to deliver reliable, technician-driven maintenance nationwide. We’re thrilled to welcome AFS to the Epika Network.”

    AFS specializes in preventive maintenance, emissions service, and truck and trailer repair, supported by the AFS Proven Process that ensures efficient, high-quality turnarounds. The company’s mix of mobile and in-shop capabilities strengthens Epika’s ability to support fleets across Texas with flexible, high-touch service.

    “Joining Epika gives us the resources and network to elevate the service we already provide,” said Josh Grinstead, founder of Accelerated Fleet Services. “Our team has always been focused on keeping fleets rolling. With Epika, we’re positioned to do that on an even larger scale.”

    Partnership expands Epika’s presence in Midwest and South

    Earlier this year Epika formed a partnership with Mobile Equipment Service Options (M.E.S.O., Inc.), a leading provider of mobile and in-shop equipment, truck, and trailer maintenance solutions. This expanded Epika’s footprint across the Midwest and South, and strengthened its support for heavy equipment maintenance in construction, utility, manufacturing, and mixed fleets.

    Founded in 2014, M.E.S.O. has become a trusted partner for mission-critical equipment support, combining advanced telematics, mobile service expertise, and deep technical proficiency across a broad range of heavy equipment. With operations across 11 states in the Midwest and South, M.E.S.O. adds significant regional reach and specialization to the Epika Network.

    “MESO’s commitment to their people and customers and high-quality equipment repair aligns perfectly with the future we are building at Epika,” said Todd Browning, COO of Epika Fleet Services. “Their expertise in servicing heavy equipment and specialized machinery expands what our network can offer, and their technician-first culture makes them a natural fit. We’re incredibly excited to welcome M.E.S.O. into Epika’s growing family.”

    This partnership strengthens Epika’s ability to support a one stop solution for mixed fleets that depend on both equipment and vehicle service, reinforcing the company’s position as a nationwide partner for mobile and in-shop maintenance.

    Epika Fleet Services is a nationwide network of leading medium and heavy-duty maintenance providers offering comprehensive solutions through mobile and in-shop service centers. Through TopTech Fleet Solutions, Epika connects fleets to a nationwide network of vetted service partners, delivering everything from emergency support to fully managed maintenance programs. With a nationwide footprint, Epika provides fleets with clearer answers, faster turnarounds, and expert care to help keep everything going right wherever and whenever service is needed.

  • ASE’s new effort aims to connect repair industry with schools

    ASE’s new effort aims to connect repair industry with schools

    The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence Tuesday announced the launch of ASE Connects, a new initiative to bring shops, dealerships and schools together to tackle some of the industry’s most pressing issues.

    ASE Connects is a nationwide partnership with WrenchWay.

    “There are many groups out there doing great work to help with issues like the technician shortage. ASE Connects is meant to supplement, not replace those efforts. Certain aspects simply work better when all parties involved are on one platform rather than individual silos for automotive, diesel or dealer versus independent,” said Dave Johnson, president and CEO of ASE. “ASE is uniquely positioned to lead this effort. We proudly serve the automotive, diesel and collision repair industries and work with businesses of every type, from independent repair shops and dealerships to fleets, manufacturers and schools. ASE Connects brings all these groups together to strengthen the workforce pipeline for the entire industry.”

    Connecting industry with schools and gathering useful data are two areas where a centralized approach makes the biggest difference. These two priorities form the foundation of ASE Connects’ initial rollout:

    Connecting Industry with Schools

    ASE Connects will build upon the existing School Assist solution to streamline how shops, dealerships and schools work together. Today, more than 3,200 high schools and post-secondary programs are already participating, and ASE’s long-term goal is to bring on every school in the country. Members gain easy access to updated instructor contacts, school support requests and direct communication channels to offer help and connect with students. These tools reduce the barriers that often limit effective school–industry collaboration.

    Providing Useful Industry Data

    ASE Connects will also introduce the Industry Data Exchange, a new effort that builds upon the Voice of Technician report, technician pay data and ASE’s school data. The Exchange will provide a comprehensive view of workforce trends across the automotive, diesel and collision industries by gathering data rarely shared publicly, including pay, benefits and labor rates.

    Shops will be able to look at numbers on a national level as well as filter based on location, shop type and more. ASE’s independence ensures data stays anonymous yet useful for each participating entity.

    ASE Connects memberships are free for schools, while businesses pay a small annual fee. This fee not only supports the broader industry mission, strengthening technician programs, improving data accuracy and building a healthier workforce pipeline, but also delivers clear, measurable value back to each participating shop.

    ASE will continue partnering with WrenchWay to leverage its technology and online platform tooperate the network.

    “We are excited to take this next step with ASE,” said Mark Wilson, co-founder and CEO of WrenchWay. “WrenchWay’s mission has always been to promote and improve technician careers. By combining ASE’s industry leadership with our technology, we are able to focus even more on that mission and make a bigger impact together.”

    ASE Connects will be introduced during a webinar taking place on Jan. 15 at 12 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. CT. Click here to register to attend.

  • Kriete expands Milwaukee presence with Badger Acquisition

    Kriete expands Milwaukee presence with Badger Acquisition

    Kriete Truck Centers, headquartered in Milwaukee with 11 locations across Wisconsin, recently announced it has acquired Badger Truck & Auto Group (Badger Truck Center) in Milwaukee.

    The newly acquired nearly nine-acre facility doubles Kriete’s Milwaukee market presence. The site’s location — one exit west of the Milwaukee Zoo Interchange — offers easy accessibility for the company’s growing customer base and supplier partner network.

    The expansion enables Kriete to offer customers a full line of Class 3–8 trucks, including Mack, Volvo, Hino, Isuzu, and Autocar, from its new Milwaukee location. This will be the company’s third Milwaukee-based location since its founding in 1951.

  • Ryder adds rental and maintenance facility in Georgia

    Ryder adds rental and maintenance facility in Georgia

    Ryder System, Inc. is expanding its presence in the Southeast with the opening of a new 20,000 square feet full-service commercial truck rental and maintenance facility at 105 Constitution Drive, McDonough, Georgia. Located in South Atlanta’s fast-growing logistics corridor, Ryder’s new McDonough facility enhances access to fleet and maintenance services for regional businesses, according to a statement from the company.

    Strategically positioned near Interstate 75 and major distribution hubs, the facility advances Ryder’s port-to-door logistics service model with rental, maintenance, and fleet solutions. This new location follows Ryder’s recent Nashville-area expansion, reinforcing a broader strategy to meet rising demand across high-growth regions. With five full drive-through maintenance bays, the facility will also feature RyderGyde integration for real-time fleet visibility and shop status updates.

    “This expansion reflects Ryder’s investment in high-growth regions where evolving logistics needs demand flexible and tech-enabled solutions,” says Tom Havens, president of Fleet Management Solutions at Ryder. “McDonough’s proximity to Atlanta, strong infrastructure, and thriving industrial base make it an ideal location for extending our service footprint.”

    McDonough, located in Henry County, one of Georgia’s fastest-growing logistics and manufacturing hubs, is rapidly emerging as a key inland port destination. Its strategic position along I-75 connects businesses to Atlanta’s metro market and beyond. New infrastructure enables containers to be offloaded directly onto trucks, streamlining freight movement and easing highway congestion.

    This growth complements the Port of Savannah’s record-setting expansion, now recognized as the fastest-growing port on the U.S. East Coast. According to the Georgia Center of Innovation, Georgia’s logistics sector employs more than 250,000 people and generates over $83 billion in annual economic impact. McDonough’s industrial parks and distribution centers continue to attract investment, fueling demand for fleet management and transportation services. These factors make it an ideal location for Ryder’s Southeast expansion.

    The new Ryder facility is expected to create employment opportunities in the region, including roles for skilled technicians and customer service professionals. Individuals interested in joining Ryder’s growing team can explore current openings at ryder.com/careers.

  • ASE certification Testing deadline is at end of the month

    ASE certification Testing deadline is at end of the month

    The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence reminds service professionals to register for ASE certification testing by Dec. 31.

    Those who register by the deadline will have 90 days to schedule an appointment to take their selected ASE certification tests.

    Individuals who want to be certified or recertified in the following areas must register and take these specific tests by Dec. 31:

    • Test E1 – Truck Equipment Installation and Repair
    • Test E2 – Electrical/Electronic Systems Installation and Repair
    • Test E3 – Auxiliary Power Systems Installation and Repair
    • Test P4 – General Motors Parts Consultant
    • Test X1 – Undercar Specialist Exhaust Systems.

    Earlier this year, ASE announced the discontinuation of these five tests as of Dec. 31.

    To register, visit ASE.com, click on “register” and sign in. Once logged in, users can click on “orders” and then “store” where they can locate the tests they want to take. After adding those tests to the cart, they can check out and registration is complete.

    ASE provides three certification options:

    1. In-Person Testing: All tests can be taken in person at over 450 secure, proctored Prometric test centers, available year-round on weekdays, evenings and weekends.
    2. ProProctor Remote Testing: This online option allows individuals to take ASE recertification tests remotely. In addition, the auto maintenance and light repair (G1) initial certification test can be taken remotely through ProProctor.
    3. ASE Renewal App: For those who have been certified in the automobile certifications (A1-A9) series, the renewal app offers a streamlined way to manage recertification on a mobile device. If automotive service professionals have expired A-series tests, they can still use the app, but it will take at least eight months to get certified that way.

    To help with test preparation, ASE provides free study guides that include test overviews, sample questions and study tips and are ideal for assessing readiness and focusing preparation efforts.

    For assistance, registrants should contact ASE customer service at 800-390-6789.

  • New group advocates for federal policy on autonomous vehicles

    New group advocates for federal policy on autonomous vehicles

    A diverse group of stakeholders recently announced the formation of United for Autonomy, a new coalition dedicated to advancing a federal policy framework for autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the United States. The group is comprised of 28 organizations that share a common goal: establishing a clear, consistent federal framework that enables the safe deployment of AVs while maintaining America’s global leadership in this transformative industry.

    In announcing United for Autonomy, the CEO of the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association, Jeff Farrah, said, “It is exciting to see a broad range of stakeholders come together to push common sense policy that will solidify American leadership in autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles have the potential to dramatically reduce the 40,000 traffic fatalities we see each year, provide independence to people who cannot drive, and strengthen American supply chains. But realizing that potential requires federal government leadership.”

    A federal policy framework has been championed by the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association, a founding member of United for Autonomy. The association put forward policy recommendations in Securing American Leadership in Autonomous Vehicles, earlier this year. The group’s recommendations for policymakers emphasized the need for federal action to secure the United States’ position as a global leader in autonomous vehicle (AV) technology while ensuring safety, fostering innovation, and promoting economic resilience.

    In recent years, U.S. states have led the charge on autonomous vehicle policy. 26 states have autonomous vehicle deployment laws and authorize Level 4 or 5 autonomous driving systems on their roads. However, only the federal government can uniformly regulate vehicle design, construction, and performance, according to the new organization.

    The coalition plans to engage with lawmakers, regulators, and the public to build support for a federal policy framework for autonomous vehicles.

    United for Autonomy is comprised of 28 allied organizations, including:

    • Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association
    • ACES Mobility Coalition
    • American Trucking Association
    • Alliance for Automotive Innovation
    • American Council of the Blind
    • Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI)
    • Bay Area Council
    • Blinded Veterans Association
    • U.S. Chamber of Commerce
    • Chamber of Progress
    • Contra Costa Transportation Authority
    • Consumer Technology Association
    • Truck & Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA)
    • Institute for Safer Trucking
    • ITS America
    • MEMA
    • National Council on Independent Living
    • National Federation of the Blind
    • National Retail Federation
    • National Venture Capital Association
    • Paralyzed Veterans of America
