Waste & Recycling Truck Service
Service support for garbage trucks, recycling trucks, and refuse collection fleets across Northern California and Western Nevada.
Service Support for Waste and Recycling Fleets
Preferred Truck and Equipment provides service support for waste and recycling trucks, helping fleets address equipment issues, maintenance needs, and truck uptime. We understand that when a truck isn't working, the route still needs to get done — and we focus on practical solutions that get trucks back in service.
Our service team works with garbage companies, recycling companies, municipal fleets, and private haulers throughout Northern California and Western Nevada. Whether it's a routine maintenance visit or an unexpected breakdown, we'll help you figure out the right next steps.

Schedule ServiceWhen a truck is down, the route still has to run.
We know what a single truck out of service means for a garbage company or recycling fleet. Routes get longer. Drivers get stretched. Customer complaints go up. And every hour a truck sits is revenue that doesn't come back.
That's why we focus on practical service support — getting trucks diagnosed, repaired, and back on the road as quickly as the situation allows. No overpromising. No magic. Just experienced mechanics, real parts availability, and a commitment to helping your fleet stay productive.
On-Site Service and Installation Support
PT&E can help companies with on-site service and installation of certain parts and systems on waste and recycling trucks. This includes support for camera systems, depending on the truck, the location, and the specific service need.
On-site support availability depends on the type of work, the equipment involved, and your location within our service area. Contact us to discuss your truck and service needs — we'll let you know what we can do and whether it makes sense to come to your yard or bring the truck to one of our shops.
What to tell us when you call
- The truck make, model, year, and the equipment manufacturer (Heil or otherwise).
- A description of the issue or the service you're looking for.
- Your location and whether you need on-site support or can bring the truck to us.
- Any parts you've already identified, or whether you need help determining what's needed.
Service Support Across Northern California
PT&E provides service support from three locations across the region. Depending on the truck, the work needed, and your location, we'll help you figure out the most efficient way to get service.
