LEAVE IT TO THE PROS

While each of Prime’s main terminals has its own body shop, in this issue, we are focusing on the talented team at the Pittston, Pennsylvania, terminal. The Pittston crew handles all types of repairs and paint jobs and continues to grow and improve. From minor door dings to rebuilding entire trucks, this team has got you covered.

The shop recently added two new team members who are currently training to begin running a night shift four days a week and speed up turnaround time for drivers. With seven total team members, including a manager, they always stay busy, working on 20 to 25 trucks a week. With a talented team on board, the repairs are usually quick. The real wait is on parts, according to Jason Barry, who oversees Pittston & Laredo Maintenance.

If you need to have your truck repaired at the Pittston terminal, you can call ahead and ask to speak with shop manager Mike Evans, or “you’re always welcome to walk in and ask for an estimate,” explains Jason. Estimates can typically be done within a couple of hours. Depending on the severity, most repairs can be done within one to three days. “If the truck is drivable, we usually recommend taking it back out while we source parts,” Jason says. “Once we have the parts in, we will reach out to schedule the repair. But the turnaround is pretty quick once the truck is in the shop.”

Drivers are also involved in each step of the repair. They’re part of the estimate; they help with taking photos and they get called on to make repair decisions. There are no surprises at the Prime shop. If a truck needs to be repaired, you can be assured that the professionals at the Pittston terminal will have you back on the road in no time.
