Trailer, truck & fleet welding repair — Kansas City metro
I'm a mobile welder serving the Kansas City metro, and a big chunk of what I do is trailers and trucks. Cracked frame rails, broken couplers, busted hitches, split dump bodies, bent ramps, headache racks, exhaust hangers — I come to your yard, your shop, or wherever the truck is parked and weld it there.
Kansas City sits where I-35 and I-70 cross. There's a lot of metal rolling through here, and when a trailer cracks or a dump body splits, every hour it's parked is money you're not making. A mobile welder who comes to the yard beats a shop slot three days out.
What it covers
- Cracked trailer frame rails, crossmembers, and tongues
- Coupler, hitch, pintle, and receiver replacement
- Utility trailer floor and deck repair, fender repair, ramp repair
- Dump trailer and dump truck bed repair — cracked beds, sides, hinges
- Flatbed and stake-bed repair, headache racks, side rails
- Truck brackets, mounts, mud-flap hangers, exhaust hangers, bumper repair
- Fleet maintenance welding — recurring stuff on your trucks and trailers, on a schedule that works for your yard
- Emergency roadside / yard repair when a unit goes down {{CHRIS: confirm whether you do roadside or yard-only}}
Who it's for
Trucking companies, owner-operators, fleet managers, towing outfits, trailer dealers, dump and roll-off operators, food-trailer builders, landscapers and contractors with utility trailers. Anyone whose equipment makes money only when it's moving.
What to send for a quote
Text or upload photos of the crack or the broken part, a wide shot of the trailer or truck, and the make/type if you know it. Tell me where it's parked (a city or yard address) and whether the unit can be moved or not. Cracked-frame work I'll always want to see in person before I commit to a price, but photos get us most of the way there.

Questions
Frequently asked
Can you weld a cracked trailer frame?
Usually, yes — most cracked trailer frames can be repaired properly with the crack stop-drilled, cleaned out, V-ground, welded, and (where it makes sense) reinforced with a fish plate. But not every crack is a weld-and-go: if the rail is rusted through, the crack is in a bad spot near a suspension mount, or the frame's been "fixed" badly before, it might be time to talk replacement. I'll tell you straight after I look at it. There's a full write-up here: Can you weld a cracked trailer frame?
Do you come to my yard, or do I have to bring the trailer somewhere?
I come to your yard. Engine-driven rig — I roll up wherever the trailer's parked anywhere in the KC metro.
How fast can you get a unit back on the road?
Most coupler, hitch, and bracket repairs are a one-visit job — often done inside the service-call hour. Frame work depends on how bad it is. Tell me what you've got and I'll give you a realistic timeline. {{CHRIS: confirm typical turnaround + emergency availability}}
Is it safe to weld a truck frame?
Truck and semi frames can be welded, but it's not the same as a trailer — there are spots you should never weld on a truck frame, manufacturers have specific repair procedures, and some repairs legally need to follow those. I'll tell you whether it's a safe weld repair or whether you need a frame shop. I'm not going to put a band-aid weld on something that'll come apart at highway speed.
Do you do fleet accounts?
Yes. If you've got a yard full of trucks and trailers that need ongoing work, I'll set up a relationship — recurring visits, subcontract rates, net-30. B2B pricing here.
