            The nation’s premier, on-site locomotive service and repair company
          
        
        
          FleetServe Rail LLC, based in Ponder, Texas, is a wholly-
        
        
          owned subsidiary of FleetServe, the industry leader for
        
        
          outsourced preventive maintenance servicing the oilfield
        
        
          sector. The company was launched in 2013, to provide
        
        
          outsourced preventive maintenance on locomotives and
        
        
          complementary repair services to the railroad sector.
        
        
          This new approach for mobile, on-site maintenance was
        
        
          a rail-industry first, and it enabled the company, as the
        
        
          nation’s largest and most experienced provider of pre-
        
        
          ventative maintenance services nationwide, to dramati-
        
        
          cally increase its customers’ locomotive service availabil-
        
        
          ity while delivering substantial cost savings and reducing
        
        
          costly downtime.
        
        
          FleetServe’s parent company began in 1980 as Auto-
        
        
          serve, specializing in commercial and consumer preven-
        
        
          tive maintenance. In 1996, it acquired a small, on-site,
        
        
          fleet service company and began the transition to Fleet-
        
        
          Serve LLC, combining extensive experience in preventive
        
        
          maintenance with knowledge of proprietary fleet opera-
