What a first build could look like in Mitchell
Picture a Mitchell diesel truck, grain-trailer and heavy-equipment repair shop near Interstate 90 and Highway 37 keeping farm haulers, construction rigs and highway fleets rolling from Ethan to Plankinton. A live bay dispatch board, parts inventory log and mobile inspection checklist let mechanics text photo-backed repair estimates to fleet managers and farmers for quick approval.
