Second Chassis

Your shop moves as fast as its slowest link.

Second Chassis is a platform for ambulance dealers and remount shops. It keeps every truck's information moving, from the first call to delivery, so your people spend their hours selling and building.

A shop has one goal: to make money. There are three ways to make more of it.

  1. Sketch of a truck driving out of a shop bay.

    More trucks out the door.

    Sell more and build more with the people you already have.

  2. Sketch of a clock.

    Less spent getting there.

    Fewer hours lost to emails, phone calls and walking across the shop to ask.

  3. Sketch of a shelf holding only a few parts.

    Less money on the shelves.

    Order what the next trucks in line need, and nothing they don't.

Everything Second Chassis does is aimed at one of these. If it does not move a shop towards the goal, we do not build it.

Before a truck moves, information has to move.

A customer calls. A rep quotes. Parts get ordered. The truck gets built, billed and delivered. Every one of those steps waits on the one before it. That is a chain, and a chain moves at the speed of its slowest link.

Most of the time the slow link is not a person or a bay. It is the handoff: the email that was not answered, the sheet that was typed again, the one person who knows and is out today.

Sketch of a chain of five links drawn left to right. One link is circled, and small arrows go back and forth over the gaps between the links.

Make every department faster on its own and the shop does not get faster. The handoffs still break.

Enter it once. It stays with the truck.

Once information enters the chain, it stays with that truck to the end. Nobody types it again. Nobody has to go and ask.

  • Get to the customer first.

    Know every fleet you serve, how old their trucks are, and when you last talked. The first shop in the door usually wins.

  • Quote faster, with less back and forth.

    What the rep enters comes in the same way every time, and the paperwork behind it stops being retyped. Each rep can carry more customers and send more quotes.

  • Ask your shop a question.

    Who is waiting on a reply from us? What did we quote that department last year? Get the answer in seconds, not by finding the one person who remembers.

  • Keep the shelves lean and the bays full.

    Order exactly what the next trucks in line need before they reach the bay. No truck sitting for weeks waiting on one bumper.

What does one empty bay cost you in a week?

(Payroll, rent, utilities, insurance. Everything except chassis and parts.)

Fill in all three boxes to see your answer. Type the yearly cost in full dollars, like 1,800,000.

That is your yearly running cost divided by the bay-weeks you have. A truck waiting on one part, or one answer, costs the same as an empty bay.

Your numbers stay on your screen. Nothing you type here is sent to us.

New trucks cost more and take longer. Remounts are filling the gap.

  • $275,000 to $480,000.

    How long some departments have reported waiting for a new ambulance. It used to be three to six months.

  • About a third less.

    What one Texas city found a remount costs against a new truck: about $300,000 against about $438,000.

  • A national standard.

    Remounting has had its own section in a national ambulance standard since 2019.

When a new truck is expensive and slow to arrive, the shop that can quote and turn a remount fastest gets the work.

What happens on the call

  1. Pick a time.

    Weekdays, on video.

  2. We walk your chain together.

    From the first customer call to delivery, where does information wait?

  3. You leave knowing your slowest link,

    and whether Second Chassis fits it. If it does not, we will say so.

Questions

Who is it for?

Ambulance dealers and remount shops. If you sell, build or remount ambulances, it was built for your day.

Do my people need to be good with computers?

No. If they can send a text, they can use it. It was built around how a shop already works.

Is it one tool or several?

One. Separate tools make each department faster and leave the handoffs between them broken. One platform means the information is entered once and follows the truck.

What does it cost?

It is rented by the month and set for each shop. We go through it on the call, once we both know what you need.

Is my shop's information kept private?

Yes. Your records are yours. No other shop sees them.

How long does it take to get going?

About two weeks to be fully up and running.

Find your slowest link.

Thirty minutes. We look at your chain together and you leave knowing where the hours are going.
