Why are Used Garbage Trucks best buy?

Posted in Garbage Trucks

Struggling with the decision to buy new or used?? We are here to help! This article tells you exactly what we have found out in the past ten years and why our customers would rather buy used garbage trucks over new.

TECHNOLOGY ISSUES

We have seen the switch from gas to CNG! Many companies in the industry know that this switch was not done smoothly to say the least. The problems arising from CNG have caused many of our customers to lose money from downtime and feel what we call “buyers remorse.” The buyer’s remorse comes from getting a new truck in which you spend top dollar for and a month down the line it goes into the shop. The new sensors and controls have been experiencing issues over the last couple of years. Engineers are working out the kinks to build a more reliable truck that has less issues occur but we are not ready to fully support the new garbage trucks just yet.

NEW ENERGY

Along with the technology changes being made, CNG becoming a dominating factor for garbage trucks, and the repair shops being full of trucks, a new energy source has shown up on the horizon. DME or dimethyl ether is becoming a widely accepted new fuel source in China and Europe. These trucks are able to go longer and further on less fuel. Sounds too good to be true, right?! Well it has been proven to be a more efficient garbage truck by Volvo. The Manufacturer has been garbage trucks that run completely off this new energy source and because of it they have are seeing less downtime and more money. The future is here, it just has not hit our customers yet.

BUY NEW OR USED

The United States will see the new energy source soon! Right now we recommend buying a used garbage truck until the new DME trucks hit our market. Buying a new CNG truck will cost your company a fortune and if you not tied to city contracts requiring you to purchase 2015 models, get a used garbage truck. They have proven to be efficient money making machines and if you are lucky you may find one in PREMIUM CONDITION.

What is better, new or used garbage truck

By
Posted in Garbage Trucks

The decision to buy a new or used garbage truck can be a difficult one. The way technology is changing and emission standards are pushing everyone to go “Green”, garbage trucks are becoming more complex and expensive! Many people are struggling with this decision and we here at RDK hope this article will help.

NEW Garbage Trucks

They have sensors that monitor just about every part on the truck and this requires extensive knowledge on how to keep them running. This can scare many individual business owners away because their mechanics are not comfortable working on the new garbage trucks. So What do we do? We buy what is familiar. This will keep our customers and mechanics happy! This leads them into looking for used inventory. Now be careful, buying used can be tricky if you do not talk to the right dealer! People in our industry know that reputation is important and buying a quality product from someone who has extensive knowledge and experience in the used garbage truck market is KEY.

Many accounts do not have this luxury. Their contracts require them to buy only new and are left with a false feeling of reliability. OH and to add, did you know it costs 10,000 dollars for your warranty? Which is well worth it because your first repairs may cost you $20,000. The new trucks we have seen have had more problems due to the new technology not functioning well. I wish we could say the new garbage trucks are great and buy yours today, but that is simply not the case. Many of our customers are experiencing more downtime then ever before with the newer trucks. This costs them money and they end up getting used trucks to fill in.

This being said, there are a few benefits of buying new. First, it is a good image for your company. You are now “going green” as they put it. You will also have good customer service and the knowledge from the dealers regarding the new trucks. New tires, brakes, and CNG are a given benefit of the new trucks as well. Your extra warranty may cost some money but having that safety net will give you ease of mind. Lets just hope the downtime isn’t a serious problem for your new garbage truck and you will be just fine.

USED Garbage Trucks

They are proven to be road warriors and can handle the toughest of conditions. The used garbage trucks have stood the test of time and hard work. With less downtime and good mechanics nearby, which may know these trucks better than their family, you will be satisfied with your used garbage truck and her performance.

Over the past few decades a used garbage truck has been looked at as the hand-me-down. People were more inclined to buy new to get the warranty and the prestige of owning a new truck. Nowadays, a used garbage truck will give you more bang for your buck! Especially if you get one from the right dealer. The used garbage truck market is filled with dealers but knowing one that puts exceptional quality in your working fleet is key to your companies success. These used garbage trucks will give you hard work day in and day out. They have been completely gone over and over to make sure every part and piece is in great condition. Did I mention parts are everywhere for a used garbage truck? They cost less too!

With proven technology, less downtime, and your mechanics knowledge, buying a used garbage truck is a no brainer. Don’t deal with the expensive prices of buying NEW or the downtime that will occur when you are on the road and need to pick up for accounts. It is almost a no brainer to go used!

THE RIGHT DEALER

Make sure you know who you are dealing with. We have seen some rough trucks come out of some dealerships that have been advertised as IN GREAT CONDITION. Yeah right! That truck barely runs and if it did we do not want it in our fleet. This leads to buyers remorse and a lot of money down the drain. This is exactly what you do not want! Talk to someone who has extensive knowledge and experience in the industry. Speak to their staff and ask them questions! Ask for photos, videos, and look at their inventory up close.

We here at RDK pride ourselves in our work. The inventory you see on our website and on our lot in Tampa, Florida are considered to be top tier in the industry. The PREMIUM quality of a used garbage truck on our lot speaks for itself. With a combined 80+ years of experience under our roof, we know how to talk trash!

Where do I find Premium Waste Trucks??

DOWN SOUTH

The absolute best place to find PREMIUM WASTE TRUCKS is in the south! We have the best weather conditions for supplying customers with waste trucks that are in impeccable condition. Now you ask yourself, why does weather have anything to do with it?? Well let me ask you a question, What does salt do to your car, waste truck, or bike? See now we are getting somewhere.

SALT AND SNOW

When it snows a couple feet up north, what happens? The roads get icy and people tend to stay inside drinking hot chocolate and cursing the cold. These icy roads are made safer through the addition of salt. The salt helps lower the temperature for the ice to turn into water and helps inhibit the crystallization of water particles forming into ice by breaking it down. It also provides a bit of traction for your vehicle to combat “fishtailing” or sliding on the road.

SAFE YET BAD FOR YOUR WASTE TRUCK

Over time this salt eats away at the ice and your truck! It causes the waste truck to experience corrosion and rust. Which down the road will damage the appearance, promote serious rust problems that must be addresses, and possibly affect the Mechanics of the waste truck.

RDK – SUNSHINE STATE

Luckily for you we do not see heavy amounts of snow or salt down in FLORIDA. This allows us to have Premium quality WASTE TRUCKS. The weather is conducive for our trucks to be in top dog shape, making the south one of the top destinations for anything truck related. To find out more information about our PREMIUM WASTE TRUCKS, please give us a call or email us and one of professionals will be in touch with you shortly.

New Technology

Waste trucks are undergoing new and improved makeovers every year. With technology growing, our waste trucks are becoming integrated into robots. Not the robots from “I, Robot” but functioning machines with technological add ons that will eventually tell you and your mechanic every little problem that occurs and how well she is performing. This is a new age for waste trucks so hold on to your hats and your wallets boys because things are about to take off!

GET THE HELL OUT OF DODGE

Some people are having terrible issues with the new and “improved” trucks that we are seeing hit the streets. With so many add ons, there are now more problems popping up left and right. These issues are now being addressed with mechanics that do not know how to work on them. What do we do?! Get the HELL OUT OF DODGE. Companies are looking for solutions to integrate in the new complicated systems in order to cut down on these problems. With better technology and a possible new energy source, we see the waste truck becoming a beautifully efficient machine that works well with the environment and your wallet. I am talking GREENBACKS GENTLEMAN. Greenbacks for you and the environment, its essentially a win win with the better technology that comes out of our certified over educated engineer minds. We know now, from our customers, that the current trucks are working but they do not want the current truck to stay the same. It has to change and evolve or they are going to spend more money on maintenance then they will spend on their vacation to china.

ACROSS BORDERS

The waste truck is undergoing a significant change in Europe and China. Through our research we have found the Sweden and China are taking Green to a whole new level! They have found an energy source that they now use in a waste truck that outperforms anything on the market now with lower emission levels. This means it runs smoother, longer, and cleaner! We are not at liberty to discuss this fuel source just yet but if you subscribe to our newsletter we WILL keep YOU up to date!
