Pre-harvest readiness for 14 vehicles in 9 days

A tight pre-harvest window meant we audited the entire field fleet on-site, prioritized critical repairs, and cleared every vehicle before the first shake.

Context

A family-owned almond operation west of Galt was about to enter shake season with 14 vehicles of varying age and condition. The owner's usual mechanic was overloaded with end-of-summer work and couldn't get to the pre-harvest readiness check.

Approach

  1. 01Scheduled a nine-day window for full pre-harvest inspection.
  2. 02Prioritized findings into 'must fix before shake', 'fix during', and 'fix after season'.
  3. 03Coordinated repair work with two local shops the owner had used before.

Outcome

  • All 14 vehicles cleared and field-ready by day nine.
  • Five critical findings — three cooling, one brake, one electrical — all addressed pre-shake.
  • Zero in-season breakdowns across the fleet.
