Buying Used Trucks

Trucks have become a vital part of our lives when it comes to transporting people and cargo from end-to-end. While the trucks have been in use for long, it was during the 1920s after the First World War that the industry witnessed a major boom and drivers even started to make a living out of the truck business.

When you think of trucks, whether new or used ones, there are certain well-known brands such as Scania, Volvo, Mann, Ford, Dodge, Freightliner, GM, Volkswagen and Daimler AG amongst others who are known for their heavy-duty as well as light commercial trucks.

Investing in Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) can be a very costly experience, they don't come cheap, but for those in the trucking and transportation industry.

Nothing is more important than having a reliable commercial fleet, it gives you confidence to run your business with peace of mind. HGV vehicles are normally manuals, with a high number of gears but you might be able to find a decent automatic HGV if you search hard enough, but consider what you are using the truck for, if its long runs on motorways, automatic is less important.

Used Scania trucks are a very popular used truck. They are reliable, and have a great reputation in heavy haulage. The maintain their value well and there is a large support network.

HGVs by design are built to last. As their main purpose is to transport goods over long distances, they are able to easily do hundreds of thousands of miles on the same engine. For a small business or individuals, there are many great opportunities to pick up ex-commercial vehicles from larger corporations like delivery companies or supermarket.
