What would you want in a fleet store?
We are tossing around the idea of starting a fleet and farm store attached to our facility. With many of the local parts stores no longer offering weekend hours, we are trying to fill the void for our local farmers, O/O, and small fleet owners. Our idea is to offer weekend hours and carry the items that are needed on the weekends. I have been there too many times where a Saturday morning simple repair turns into a Monday morning parts run. So the question for the community is what parts have you needed on a weekend and not been able to get?
So far the initial ideas are:
Nuts and bolts
Airbags
Brake drums, pads, and slack adjusters
Hydraulic and airline hoses
Lubricants
Airline and fittings
Filters
Wheel bearings and seals
Auto-inflate system components
Full line of lights
Axle studs
I am not looking to carry overly brand-specific items, more generic items to limit the amount of carried inventory. Let me know what you have needed on a weekend and been unable to get.
