 The Western Fleet Challenge: Isolation and High Costs

Small business fleet owners traversing Wyoming face a dangerous bottleneck:
  1. Isolated Dealership Bays: Corporate shops often demand massive towing fees to bring your vehicle in, only to place you at the back of a multi-day waiting line.
  2. Unequipped Local Mechanics: Smaller repair operations might offer lower hourly rates, but they rarely carry specialized parts inventory or advanced computer software to deal with complex OTR engines.
The MTG Green River team eliminates these pain points. By pairing an accessible brick-and-mortar location with 24/7 mobile repair trucks, they bring elite mechanical capabilities directly to your location, avoiding costly towing fees and extensive delays.

 We Feel the Pinch Too: Introducing Special Fleet Pricing for Owner-Operators

The trucking industry has always been the backbone of the economy, but lately, running a rig feels like fighting an uphill battle. Between astronomical fuel prices at the pump and skyrocketing commercial insurance premiums, the margins for owner-operators have never been tighter [finance].
At Mobile Transportation Group Inc., we aren't just sitting on the sidelines watching our drivers struggle. We are all in this transport ecosystem together, and when our customers hurt, we feel it too.
To help independent drivers keep their wheels turning without breaking the bank, we have developed a Special Owner-Operator Pricing Program designed to lower your maintenance overhead when you need it most.

The Reality: The Squeeze on Independent Drivers
Every owner-operator knows the math is getting harder. Fuel costs consume a massive chunk of your per-mile revenue, and insurance carriers continue to raise rates regardless of how clean your safety record is.
When fixed operational costs go up, preventative maintenance and minor repairs often get delayed. We know that skipping a PM service or ignoring a check engine light is a recipe for a catastrophic, expensive breakdown down the road.
Our goal is simple: make high-quality, professional diesel repair affordable so you never have to choose between financial survival and on-road safety.

What Our Special Pricing Program Includes
We have restructured our labor rates and parts margins specifically for single-truck owners and small independent fleets. When you pull into our Green River, WY or Brush, CO shops—or call out one of our 24/7 mobile service trucks—you instantly get access to discounted rates:
  • Discounted Quick-Lane PM Services: Keep your engine oil, filters, and fluids fresh at reduced flat-rate pricing to maximize your fuel efficiency and engine longevity.
  • Reduced Rates on OEM Diagnostics: Don't pay premium dealer prices just to read a code. Get your DPF, emissions, and engine faults accurately diagnosed using our factory-level software at a fraction of the cost.
  • Preferred Tier Commercial Tire Pricing: We leverage our buying power on major tire national accounts to pass the savings directly to you, helping you get affordable premium rubber.
  • Lowered Roadside Service Fees: Breakdowns are stressful enough. If you get stranded on I-80 or I-76, our emergency dispatch will apply our special owner-operator safety net pricing to your roadside ticket.

Licensed, Insured, and Trained—Without the Dealer Price Tag
Cutting costs shouldn't mean cutting corners. Even with our new discounted pricing, you are still getting the exact same premium service that fleet managers trust.
You still get the protection of a fully licensed and insured company. You still get OEM-trained technicians who fix it right the first time. And you still get a transparent, digital paper trail to back up your maintenance records. We are simply absorbing some of the margin to help our community survive a tough economic cycle.

Claim Your Discount on Your Next Service
You don’t need a massive fleet of 50 trucks to get treated like a VIP. If you are an independent owner-operator, just mention this program to our service advisors when booking your appointment or calling dispatch.
Let us help you offset those crazy fuel and insurance bills. Contact our dispatch team today at dispatch@mobiletginc.com, call our main line at (303) 476-3622, or reach out to our Wyoming shop directly at (307) 303-4022.

 From the I-80 Corridor to I-76 Success: How Terry Linton Steered MTG Shops Brush to New Heights

In the heavy-duty diesel repair industry, exceptional leadership requires a unique blend of deep mechanical expertise, frontline grit, and a strong commitment to team mentorship. A prime example of this leadership is Terry Linton, a native of Green River, Wyoming, who has spent his career mastering the demands of commercial fleet maintenance.
While Terry’s roots and heavy-duty background are firmly planted along the challenging I-80 corridor of Wyoming, his latest chapter has cemented his legacy as one of the most effective leaders in the Mobile Transportation Group Inc. (MTG Shops) network. For the past three years, Terry has taken the helm of the MTG Shops Brush, Colorado team, steering the location through a period of remarkable operational success.
Here is the story of Terry Linton’s journey and how his leadership transformed the Brush facility into a premier service hub for small, medium, and large-sized fleets.

Rooted in Wyoming Grit: The Foundation of a Career
To understand Terry Linton’s success in Colorado, you have to look at where his career took shape. Growing up and working in Green River, WY, means learning how to handle the absolute harshest conditions the trucking industry has to offer.
The I-80 corridor through Wyoming is notorious for brutal winter storms, sub-zero temperatures, and high-wind advisories that test the limits of both drivers and mechanical equipment. Managing commercial fleet breakdowns in this region requires rapid problem-solving, mastery of advanced diagnostics, and an unshakeable dedication to safety.
Terry cut his teeth in this unforgiving environment. Years of diagnosing complex electrical faults, resolving heavy-duty drivetrain failures, and managing high-stress emergency roadside calls transformed him into a seasoned industry expert. He didn't just learn how to fix trucks; he learned exactly what fleet managers need when their livelihoods are sitting stranded on a highway shoulder.

Taking the Reins at MTG Shops Brush, CO
Three years ago, MTG Shops looked to Terry’s extensive experience to lead their critical location at 1156 N Colorado Ave, Brush, CO 80723. Situated right off I-76 Exit 90 at the Brush Travel Plaza, this facility is a vital economic lifeline for regional agricultural haulers, local fleets, and interstate freight carriers moving through Northeastern Colorado.
Stepping into the role of team leader, Terry brought his signature Wyoming work ethic and a clear vision for the shop: eliminate administrative delays, elevate technical training, and treat every small and medium fleet owner like a primary business partner.

Three Years of Major Milestones and Success
Under Terry Linton's leadership over the past three years, the Brush team has experienced phenomenal growth and elevated its status within the regional transport community. Key drivers of this success include:
  • Minimizing Fleet Downtime: Terry restructured shop workflows and mobile dispatch protocols. By pairing rapid shop bay turnarounds with a highly coordinated 24/7 mobile repair fleet, the Brush team significantly cut average wait times, getting trucks back on the road in record time.
  • Upgrading to Elite OEM Diagnostics: Recognizing that modern diesel trucks are highly complex rolling computers, Terry prioritized tech-driven accuracy. He ensured the Brush crew was fully trained on premium OEM computer diagnostics platforms, allowing them to flawlessly troubleshoot intricate check engine lights, forced DPF regenerations, and transmission faults.
  • Fostering a Culture of Safety: Bringing his strict safety standards from the oil and freight fields of Wyoming, Terry implemented immaculate floor management and strict PPE/DOT protocols. The Brush facility has become a model shop within MTG for meeting and exceeding rigorous compliance standards.
  • Building Lasting Community Trust: Terry’s straightforward, transparent approach resonated deeply with local owner-operators. By focusing on customized preventative maintenance routines and predictable, fair pricing, the Brush shop secured long-term service contracts with prominent regional carriers.

The Legacy of a Proven Leader
Today, the MTG Shops Brush location stands as a shining example of what happens when top-tier technical expertise meets passionate leadership. Terry Linton successfully took the grit, knowledge, and high-pressure experience gained from a lifetime in Green River, WY, and used it to build an award-worthy, highly efficient team in Colorado.
For fleet owners operating along I-76, Terry’s leadership means peace of mind. They know that when they dial (303) 476-3622, they aren't just getting a standard mechanic—they are getting a team trained by a true industry veteran who knows exactly what it takes to keep the wheels of American logistics turning.
