How to choose a truck? We will advise you
In the last few years, truck manufacturers have overtaken their models, which is why the offer of the current market is relatively diverse. However, if you are only active for a short time in a given segment, for example you start the first truck transport, you probably will not be able to orient yourself well immediately.

From the broadest point of view, trucks are divided into two categories according to weight. A truck up to 7,5 tons has different parameters and properties than truck over 7,5 tons. Do you know the difference between them? What group do tractors, trailers or semi-trailers fall into? In both categories, for example, you will find refrigerated and refrigerated trucks, as well as dump trucks, cabinets and containers.
Flatbed, tipper, semi-trailers and trailers
A specific group are flatbed trucks and dump trucks. The name itself suggests that it is used to transport and tip material, especially construction. Next you will meet with semitrailers a trailers, which expand the capacity of the truck. The fundamental difference between a semi-trailer and a trailer is how they are coupled. The trailer can be coupled via a towing device, while the semi-trailer needs semi-trailer tractors.
How to proceed with the selection?
So if you want to buy a truck, you should first clarify what you expect from it, what you will transport and so on. The fundamental difference is whether you work with building materials or transport food. Also take into account the roads on which the vehicle will travel, whether rather on motorways or, conversely, only within a district or region.
Last but not least, set a budget, because you will decide whether to invest in a new truck or rather a bazaar. The prices are really different, moreover, for beginning entrepreneurs, a brand new model is often unrealistic, which does not matter. Even second-hand trucks are reliable.
