Regardless of your experience driving your truck cross-country, you might not be able to maneuver your vehicle through a natural disaster or severe storm. And breakdowns can pose their own slew of problems when you’re trying to make a deadline on your delivery. Fortunately, you don’t have to embark on your next route unprepared.
Before you put the pedal to the metal, read our emergency preparedness guide below. Here, we discuss which items you should keep stocked in your truck in case you experience or encounter any kind of emergency on the road.
Emergencies to Plan For
First, you should know exactly what kinds of emergencies you should plan for during each specific journey. Generally, though, you should prepare for the following scenarios

    Severe weather like heavy rain or snowstorms
    Flooding
    Traffic jams
    Truck breakdowns
    Wildfires
    Landslides
    Rockslides
    Tornadoes
    Road closures
    Accidents
    High winds

Many hazards will vary based on your location and the time of year. Before you hit the road, you can also check the National Weather Service or use an app to track specific weather conditions along your route.

     If you find yourself in need of a used trailer, buying used can save you a significant amount of money or get you a trailer that’s larger and/or more feature-packed than new trailers in your price range. That being said, there are a handful of things to consider before you pull the trigger on a pre-owned unit
Know Your Needs
The first step in buying a used semi-trailer is figuring out exactly what you need. It’s a good idea to find out if the truck is compatible with certain kinds of trailers or if there are any special considerations you need to keep in mind while conducting your search.
Budget
    Another big part is determining your budget. Visit our main website  of  to browse the trailer and used semi trucks listings, paying particular attention to prices and ages of the trailers. From there you can have an idea what kind of inventory we have. We got great selection of used semi freightliners and used semi volvo trucks.

 

  Shopping the pre-owned market will also give fleet owners additional options to choose from. Many discontinued models that are no longer available can be found in used inventories. We carry used Semi Truck Volvos, Pitterbuilt, Kennworth.

Looking at used commercial truck models does not mean shoppers have to miss out on the protection provided by a warranty. Many used trucks will still have warranties in effect.
