FAQS
WHAT IS THE BEST USED SEMI TRUCK TO BUY?
Whether you’re an owner-operator or a small fleet, buying a used semi truck is much more intricate than basing your decision on a favorite make, model or cosmetic styling. When pursuing used semi trucks for sale, some important things to consider are Real Cost of Ownership (RCO), efficiency, warranty, and after-sales support, among others. RCO expands the traditional Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis by considering both the hard and soft costs incurred over the lifetime of a running commercial truck. Hard costs are the hard numbers you get by using a calculator, like monthly diesel expenses. Other factors- like comfort, safety and connectivity options- are more difficult to express in dollars and cents; these are the “soft” costs. Both hard and soft costs factor into the real cost of owning a used semi truck.
