Most Popular Used Commercial Vehicle Categories of 2022

1. Box Truck

Also known as straight trucks, box trucks remain the most popular type of commercial vehicle available from private sellers on the marketplace. With so many industries depending on deliveries or commercial and residential moving, these box-shaped cargo trucks are an absolute must for driving business. They have spacious cargo containers with a large weight capacity. On our marketplace, they’re broken down by class, including light-, medium-, and heavy-duty trucks, or, organized by dry vans and cube vans.

2. Dump Truck

Construction, mining, and agriculture are just a few of the industries that depend on dump trucks for work, and are few reasons why they’re popular on the market. These commercial vehicles are used for transporting and loading and unloading material, including gravel, dirt, sand, and waste. They’re designed to carry large loads, while the hydraulics on the bed allow them to easily remove material when it’s time to unload. You can also find these trucks listed on the marketplace as light- or heavy-duty, or available as just the dump body or dump trailer.

3. Sleeper Truck

Sleeper trucks are conventional cab trucks that allow long-haul drivers to sleep overnight or during breaks at the back of the driver’s cabin. They’re top-sellers because an entire industry depends on these trucks for long journeys across the country while hauling loads and driving long hours on the road. A number of top-selling sleeper trucks come with enough space to fit a mattress, storage bins or cabinets, dining table, and other personalized amenities. Buyers are looking at different makes and models to see what they offer, while truckers know they will be spending many hours on the job in their sleeper truck while they’re on the road.

4. Flatbed Truck

As the name implies, flatbed trucks have an open-frame bed designed to transport heavy, tall, and oversized loads. With the open bed, they have less limitations when compared to other trucks, giving you the ability to move materials that would otherwise be difficult to transport due to excessive height or width. Shoppers are looking for these vehicles to help out with jobs that need to transport cargo like building materials, machinery, logs, vehicles, and even houses. On the marketplace, you can sell them as flatbed trucks, bodies, and trailers.

5. Utility Truck

A number of specialty trades in various industries rely on utility trucks for their versatility and functionality. For example, electricians, carpenters, and utility workers use these trucks for getting their work done. You could consider them as the Swiss Army knife of commercial vehicles, with so many capabilities and features that include storage space for supplies, tools, and equipment for any number of jobs. On the marketplace, they’re broken down by these categories:

  • Service body
  • Crane body
  • Enclosed body
  • Dump body
  • Landscape body
