Choosing the Right Semi-Trailer
Having the right semi-trailer can really transform your work. You’ll be able to maximize profits and increase uptime. Lucky for you, we’ve got a great selection of semi-trailers to choose from at GATR Truck Center. Give us a call at one of our locations in Iowa and Minnesota and we’ll help you find the perfect semi-trailer to make your work easier!
Types of Semi-Trailers
Different jobs require different equipment. The front of your truck won’t really change depending on the job, but the semi-trailer will. For example, a flatbed trailer is a good generic option, but a dump trailer is better if you need to transport loose material.
Another generic choice is a dry van trailer. This type of semi-trailer is great for containing all of the supplies you’re transporting. However, if you need to keep your cargo cool, a reefer trailer is a better choice. You should think about what you need your semi-trailer to do and what will help you the most.
Ask Good Questions
A semi-trailer is a big investment, so you don’t want to choose the wrong one. It’s important to ask the right questions to ensure that you’re getting the best semi-trailer. Even if you have to pester the seller, you should keep asking them questions so you know if there are any red flags to be aware of. Here are some questions to ask:
-
What kinds of technical or mechanical issues come with the vehicle?
-
How well does the seller know the product?
-
What kind of financing options are available?
What Are the Costs?
Your budget is obviously an important part of choosing the right semi-trailer. Keep in mind that the cost of your semi-trailer goes beyond the initial price. You should build your budget with the future in mind. You don’t want to end up buying a unit that ends up costing you more than it’s worth. Think about fuel and maintenance costs since gas guzzlers and expensive-to-repair models may be costly in the long run.
These are just some of the considerations to make when buying a semi-trailer. There are a lot of factors to think about, so if you have any questions, feel free to give us a call at GATR Truck Center. We have multiple locations in Iowa and Minnesota. We will help you find a semi-trailer that transforms your work day and increases your productivity and profit!
