Trucks, Finance and Ownership

Truck purchasing requires a commercial-duty view of payload, configuration, compliance and downtime.

Key points

✓ Match GVM, axle configuration, body, towing, route and licence requirements to the work.

✓ Assess service support, parts availability, fuel use, tyres, financing and expected resale.

✓ Inspect maintenance records, engine and driveline condition, chassis, brakes and body equipment.

✓ Price downtime and repairs, not only the purchase figure.
