Heavy Duty Truck Inspection: The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) unannounced Brake Safety Day that took place on April 25 of this year put nearly 1,600 vehicles with brake violations out of service.. CVSA holds brake-focused enforcement events throughout the year to identify and remove commercial motor vehicles with dangerous brake issues from our roads to reduce the number of crashes caused by or made more severe by faulty braking system performance.

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), large trucks involved in a crash where the braking capacity of the truck was critical were 50 percent more likely to have a brake violation than trucks involved in crashes where the truck’s braking capacity was not critical.

The following observations were made during this year’s inspection:

    The U.S. conducted 10,074 commercial motor vehicle inspections
    14 percent of commercial motor vehicles were placed out of service for brake violations
    8,128 air-braked trucks and tractors were identified as requiring anti-lock braking systems (ABS)
    10.2 percent of air-braked trucks and tractors had ABS violations

     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.

 

Everything Is Road-Ready

You know all that greasing, oiling, filling, and checking you would have to do with a new truck? You do not have to do that with a used truck. During the truck's intake inspection, the used truck mechanic makes sure everything is oiled, flushed, filled, greased, inflated, and cleaned to make sure it passes inspection. As soon as you pay for it, you can drive it.

We have financing options available

If you cannot afford to buy the used truck outright, you can lease to buy. In fact, we will allow you to put money down as though you are going to buy the truck. Then you lease it, putting monthly payments toward the possibility of buying the truck.

Truck History That Helps You Determine Sources of Future Problems

Every used truck has a history. As long as the other drivers and owners of a truck have accurately reported accidents, it will be on a truck history form that the dealer can access and print off for you. Even though all used trucks MUST pass inspection, you cannot find tiny imperfections that were caused by an accident until they break or need repair.
