Do You Own One of The Top-Selling Used Trucks?
The commercial vehicle industry is booming, with more buyers searching for trucks and vans for their fleet or small-business needs. As the industry deals with an ongoing inventory shortage, these shoppers are interested in buying used trucks that can get the job done just as well as new ones. In fact, the most popular private listings on Commercial Truck Trader include models from 2006 to 2015, indicating that buyers are more than willing to consider a reliable used truck versus waiting for a brand-new model to become available.
Have you considered selling your work vehicle that you aren’t using as often? It could be more in-demand than you think, meaning you can turn your vehicle into profit. To help you out, Commercial Truck Trader has broken down the top-selling used trucks on our marketplace by category, make, and model.
Top-Selling Used Truck Categories
1. Box Truck
Box trucks, also known as straight trucks, are a popular type of private listing on the marketplace. They get their name from the box-shaped cargo container behind the cab. Box trucks are popular because of their operational versatility. These vehicles can be used for various types of deliveries, along with residential and commercial moving.
Commercial Truck Trader allows you to specify the class of your box truck when you sell on our marketplace. Shoppers will be able to easily find the light-, medium-, or heavy-duty truck that best fits their needs. Dry vans and cube vans also fall under the box truck category.
2. Dump Truck
A dump truck is a heavy-duty vehicle that is used to transport materials, such as gravel, dirt, sand, and waste. The bed of a dump truck can easily carry large volumes of loose materials, while the hydraulics can lift the bed at an angle to discard the cargo. Drivers can navigate dump trucks both on and off highway. In fact, these trucks are most commonly found on construction or mining sites.
You can list a light- to heavy-duty dump truck for sale on our marketplace, as well as just dump body or dump trailer.
3. Sleeper Truck
A sleeper truck is a conventional cab that includes a convenient sleeping area at the rear of a driver’s cabin. These are most commonly used by long-haul truckers that are required by law to get rest periods when they’re on the road for several days or weeks at a time.
The sleeping areas in these heavy-duty big rigs feature a modest, yet comfortable, space for a mattress, cabinets and overhead storage, a dining area or side table, and other amenities depending on the size of the truck.
4. Utility Truck
There are several types of utility trucks that can improve a business’ efficiency. These commercial vehicles have handy compartments to store tools and supplies and can be used for everything, from public works and servicing electrical lines to hauling cut-down trees and mulch.
Utility trucks come in a range of body styles that customers on Commercial Truck Trader are searching for, including:
- Service body
- Crane body
- Enclosed body
- Dump body
- Landscape body
5. Flatbed Truck
A flatbed truck features a long, open trailer used to transport heavy or oversized loads. Because there is no roof, you can typically add higher cargo than with an enclosed bed. Flatbed trucks are easy to load with the help of a forklift or other lifting equipment.
Flatbed trucks are a favored choice for a number of industries and trucking-related jobs. These vehicles are most often used for transporting building materials, heavy equipment, logs, and other vehicles. Flatbed trucks, bodies, and trailers can all be listed on CommercialTruckTrader.com.
