Dallas-Fort Worth, TX - Work zone safety technology is evolving faster than ever, with new standards and innovations rendering older equipment obsolete. For contractors who own their own fleet, this presents a significant challenge: a major asset can quickly become non-compliant or technologically inferior.
Regional Traffic Services is addressing this by positioning its TMA truck rental service as the innovative, future-proof solution that guarantees DFW contractors always have access to a modern, fully compliant fleet.
"Safety technology isn't static. The MASH standards, for example, involve more rigorous crash testing than older regulations," says Stan Navratil, CEO of Regional Traffic Services. "Owning a truck means you're locked into the technology of the day you bought it. We see it as our job to stay on the cutting edge of safety so our clients don't have to."
The Risks of an Owned, Aging TMA Fleet
For contractors in the competitive DFW market, relying on an older, owned TMA can introduce unforeseen risks, liabilities, and costs. The smart alternative is to rent, which eliminates the burdens associated with aging equipment.
These risks include:
- Compliance Issues: The danger of a truck not meeting the latest MASH (Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware) testing standards, which may be required for certain TxDOT or NTTA projects.
- Technological Disadvantages: Missing out on newer, more effective safety features like advanced LED lighting, smarter programmable arrow boards, or more efficient solar power systems.
- Increased Maintenance Costs: Facing higher repair bills and a greater risk of equipment failure, leading to costly project delays.
- Depreciating Asset Value: Holding onto a depreciating asset that becomes less effective and harder to sell as technology continues to advance.
"Our fleet is constantly being updated," explains Navratil. "When a contractor gets a tma truck rental from us, they are getting a unit that represents the current highest standard of safety. It's a guarantee that they are deploying compliant, state-of-the-art protection for their crew."
A Future-Proof Strategy for DFW Contractors
In a forward-looking market like Dallas-Fort Worth, utilizing the best available technology is a competitive advantage. By choosing to rent, contractors can always present themselves as safety leaders to their clients, confident that the equipment protecting their work zones is the most advanced on the market.
"The smartest decision a contractor can make is to focus on their core business and let us handle the complexities of fleet management and safety technology," adds Stan Navratil. "Our partnership gives them access to a multi-million-dollar fleet of the latest equipment for one simple, predictable cost."
