What Makes a Used Commercial Truck Worth More at Resale?

A used commercial truck is typically worth more when its condition, chassis, configuration and upfit remain useful to the next business. An expensive service body, crane, liftgate or enclosed utility body does not automatically add its original cost to resale value. Demand, maintenance history, equipment condition and how easily another business can put the truck to work all influence what it is really worth.

Cargo Van or Service Body Truck: Which Is Better for Your Trade?

Choose a cargo van when enclosed interior workspace, weather protection and walk-in organization matter most. Choose a service body truck when fast exterior tool access, heavier equipment, towing or jobsite capability matter more. For some trades, an enclosed KUV-style service body sits directly between the two.

Is a Liftgate Worth Paying More for on a Used Box Truck?

A liftgate can be one of the most valuable pieces of equipment on a box truck—or hundreds of pounds of equipment your business rarely uses. If your crew regularly moves appliances, furniture, commercial equipment, palletized freight or other heavy cargo without access to a loading dock or forklift, a properly sized liftgate can dramatically improve how the truck works. If you're primarily carrying lightweight boxes that can easily travel up a ramp, the added weight, maintenance and purchase cost

Isuzu NPR: How Much Can It Haul, What Does It Cost to Run, and Is It Right for Your Business?

Cargo weight can have a significant impact on Isuzu NPR fuel economy, but there is no single MPG figure that applies to every truck. Engine choice, body size, payload, aerodynamics, idle time, route conditions and driving habits all affect real-world fuel consumption. A lightly loaded NPR operating at steady highway speeds may use considerably less fuel than the same chassis carrying a heavy box body through stop-and-go delivery routes.

Service Body Truck Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right Utility Truck for Your Trade

A service truck should do more than carry tools. It should organize the work, reduce wasted movement and give technicians access to the equipment they use throughout the day. After years of working with contractors, trades, fleets and municipalities, SRQ Auto has learned that two service trucks that look similar in photos can function very differently on the job. Compartment layout, body height, cab configuration, payload, ladder storage and access to frequently used tools can matter just as muc

7 Commercial Vehicle Buying Mistakes We See Businesses Make

After years of buying, inspecting, reconditioning, financing and selling commercial vehicles, one pattern is clear: the most expensive mistake is often not buying a bad truck—it is buying the wrong truck for the job. A commercial vehicle is a business tool. The right one can organize a crew, carry the correct payload, reduce unnecessary trips and get to work quickly. The wrong one can create immediate upfit expense, downtime and operational frustration

Buying Used Service Trucks for Your Fleet: Condition, Equipment & Value

Buying used service trucks for your fleet starts with matching each truck to the work, equipment, and crew it must support. A lower purchase price is useful only when the vehicle's condition and configuration make sense for your business. Compare service-body storage, available vehicle ratings, maintenance information, and any immediate preparation costs. For multiple purchases, consider how consistent layouts can help technicians move between trucks. Chris Hilgeman, owner of SRQ Auto, brings ne

Best Truck for a Welding Rig: How to Build the Right Mobile Welding Truck

A mobile welding rig is only as useful as the truck carrying it. The welder, bottles, leads, tools, compressor, fuel, parts and commercial body all add weight and take up space, so choosing the truck first without thinking through the complete setup can create problems later. At SRQ Auto, we buy, recondition and sell service trucks, utility trucks, crane trucks and other commercial vehicles used by trades throughout Florida and nationwide. Welding setups vary, but the same principle applies: bui
