SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 16 – At a press conference held in conjunction with TMC’s 2026 Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition, Mitchell 1 introduced an advanced search capability in its TruckSeries repair information suite designed to help enterprise fleets instantly access critical vehicle data for Class 4-8 commercial vehicles.
Kristy Coffman, director of Mitchell 1’s Commercial Vehicle Group, unveiled the “Unit Number Search” feature, which allows technicians to quickly locate repair information using a fleet’s internal asset tag – the unique unit identifier assigned to each vehicle.
“Enterprise fleets manage hundreds or even thousands of vehicles, each identified by a unique unit number painted on the side,” said Coffman. “Unit Number Search enables technicians to quickly pull up the correct repair information using the identifier they work with every day, helping them find the right information faster and keep trucks moving.”
The feature speeds access to repair information without requiring technicians to look up VINs or guess sub-models. Fleet customers provide Mitchell 1 with a mapping of asset tags to specific vehicles in their system. Technicians simply enter the asset tag into the search bar, and the platform automatically directs them to the correct service information. Automated synchronization between the fleet’s vehicles and TruckSeries ensures the information is always accurate.
Celebrating 20 Years Supporting Online Commercial Vehicle Repair
The introduction of Unit Number Search reflects Mitchell 1’s continued innovation for commercial fleets as the company marks two decades of serving the heavy-duty repair industry.
In addition to unveiling the new feature, Mitchell 1 also used the event to kick off its 20th anniversary serving the commercial vehicle industry with online repair information. The 2026 TMC Annual Meeting provided an ideal venue to mark the milestone and highlight the company’s long-standing relationship with TMC and its members.
Since launching Tractor-Trailer.net in 2006, Mitchell 1 has played an active role in the TMC community. The company was an inaugural partner of TMC’s SuperTech competitions, establishing the Service Information skills station at state and national events using the industry’s first web-based testing program to evaluate how technicians diagnose and repair vehicles using online service information.
Over the past two decades, that collaboration with TMC has helped shape the development of Mitchell 1’s commercial vehicle solutions. Today, more than 500 TMC Recommended Practices are integrated with TruckSeries.
