  Although new trucks generally cost less to operate and maintain, the initial purchase price, F.E.T., and higher insurance costs means higher initial investment and higher Cost Per Mile. When a used truck buyer considers all operating costs - like maintenance and fuel, taxes, insurance and depreciation - they can quickly see that their total "Cost of Ownership" can be reduced with the purchase of quality used semi truck.

The life of a truck driver is a life spent on the road most of the time. They are alone, a lot. And let’s face it, being on the road can be difficult for truck drivers at times. It can bring dipression and loneliness. Being away from family and friends for a long period of time will take a toll on anyone. For truckers, this is just a day in the life. The feeling of loneliness is a feeling no one should feel on a daily basis. Here are a few tips that we’ve received about how to deal with the loneliness and make the days easier.

Tips for Overcoming Loneliness as a Truck Driver
 Take a furry animal on the road, rather its a dog or a cat. They will keep you companionship.

The best way to avoid loneliness is to have a “man’s (or woman’s) best friend” with them. Bringing a dog or animal on the road with you is absolutely allowed. Doing so will not only provide someone to talk to (without judgment) but to play and cuddle with. They will not only help curb loneliness but can also help with staying in shape.  Feeding them and taking them for walks will keep you occupied and smiling. Having someone to take care of will give you a feeling of responsibility. Haven’t you heard? Pets are mans best friends.

 

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.
