Every hour a tank trailer spends deadheading or routing out of the way for routine maintenance strips away potential revenue.

O’Day Equipment is well-equipped to help bulk haulers take it back.

The company maintains a fleet of mobile maintenance and inspection trucks to help alleviate these logistical headaches and keep petroleum and propane fleets moving across the Upper Midwest. Operating out of its established truck shops in Fargo and Minot, North Dakota, O’Day dispatches service units directly to customer facilities throughout North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. By performing inspections and targeted maintenance on-site, O’Day allows fleet operators to schedule multiple units for service at a single location, which reduces the transport time and driver coordination typically required for shop visits.

“O’Day has a long history of supporting the petroleum industry, and we’re excited to build on that legacy by reaching more customers through our mobile services and our Fargo and Minot shops,” Armoni Wells, truck shop manager at O’Day Equipment, told Bulk Transporter. “Our vendor relationships also put us in a unique position to connect customers with a wider range of products alongside the service and expertise they count on.”

Founded in 1935, the company has steadily grown its footprint beyond retail fueling and liquid storage to support commercial bulk transportation operations.

Today, O’Day technicians service both petroleum and propane transport equipment, handling annual DOT and state-level compliance checks, internal inspections, pressure testing, pump replacement, and system upgrades. When more extensive repairs dictate a visit, both the Fargo and Minot locations offer steam cleaning to properly prepare equipment for intensive repairs.

Recognizing that a service truck isn’t required for every setback, O’Day also leverages manufacturer partnerships with brands like Liquid Controls and Neptune to assist fleets with remote troubleshooting. When straightforward issues arise, shop techs guide customers over the phone and promptly arrange the necessary parts. “For fleet operators, this combination of mobile service, shop capabilities and parts support provides a coordinated way to address inspection requirements and maintenance issues,” the company said in a release.

“Customers can work with O’Day to determine which services can be completed on site and which require additional shop time.”
