  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 calculator below can provide you with an estimate of your potential costs savings. Fill it out and see if it makes sense for you to buy used.

We got buyers for our used semi trucks from all over USA. Truckers that drive in Colorado might experience a difference when come to their truck safety rules.
The views in the Rocky Mountains can be breathtaking, but the conditions can be downright frightening during winter months.

That’s why the state of Colorado is bolstering its winter driving restrictions along the mountain stretch of Interstate 70 to create safer roadways for all travelers.

The law will be in full force for nine months starting September 1st, and affects both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive passenger vehicles. Previously the law was in effect only before and during actual winter weather.

Each September-May, these vehicles face a new requirement of having specialized winter tires or carrying traction devices while traveling along I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison. The law, also known as House Bill 1207, increases the minimum tread depth for tires on all vehicles from an eighth of an inch to three-sixteenths of an inch.

Drivers of vehicles without four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive can comply with the traction law by either having snow tires (with or without studs) or by using all-season tires with a mud/snow designation. Experts say the all-season tires are less effective on ice and slush. Owners of two-wheel-drive vehicles with standard tires can carry chains  when winter weather strikes.

 

Thinking about pushing your buying decisions into 2020? Consider the benefits of receiving this year’s bonus tax depreciation if you purchase a used semi truck before year-end.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, signed on December 22, 2017, greatly enhanced bonus depreciation opportunities available to businesses in the market to buy equipment. In 2019, taxpayers can elect a 100 percent bonus depreciation deduction under either IRC Section 179 or 168(k).

Bonus Depreciation
When your business typically purchases equipment items, it can write those items off a little at a time through the depreciation. There were two enhancements under 168(k) that were not previously available or within Section 179, which are:
There is no dollar limit on the amount of property you can purchase that can qualify for the bonus depreciation.
This deduction applies to both new and used equipment. We have a great selection of used semi trucks.
