Considering a New Pick-up Purchase?

Considering a new pickup purchase??

For a business you might be asking yourself whether to buy or lease. This answer is different for everyone depending on the specific circumstances and expected future plans that a company might have in mind.  One consideration is how long the business plans to keep the pickup.  Other helpful factors when trying to make a purchase decision are taxes, flexibility within the business, gap insurance coverage, annual mileage and do not forget to shop around and know what other options may be available.

For fleet service trucks, whether you are buying or leasing, a great solution is Fleetwest Transferable Truck Bodies.  Our truck bodies are completely transferable, on and off a pickup truck fully loaded in minutes with no-holes-drilled installation. This means greater flexibility and higher overall residual value for fleets. Pictured below is our Load'N'Go Sportsman model. The Load'N'Go Sportsman’s are built with 16 gauge steel construction, pad lockable stainless steel handles, 1000 lb. capacity pull-out drawer, diamond plate aluminum doors and spray-on bed liner finish which makes them highly durable and long-lasting, especially in harsh climates.

Fleetwest is an innovative fleet solutions company specializing in transferable service bodies for pickup trucks. They offer both fiberglass composite and steel constructed transferable service bodies for standard pickup trucks. Fleetwest service bodies are designed to outlast multiple trucks and be a versatile solution through a universal truck fit design. A no holes drilled installation allows it to transfer from one truck to another in minutes. There are three ways you can transfer the service bodies on/off your truck:

• Forklift
• Lifting Jacks
• Lifting Tubes with a Crane

The Load’N’Go steel service body has forklift tunnels built into every model and can be transferred from truck to truck while fully loaded. This saves valuable man hours and there is no downtime on the job site hunting for tools in a borrowed service vehicle.  The lifting jack method allows the service technician more flexibility in transferring the service body on the job site or at a remote location where a forklift might not be available.  Using a crane to transfer the service body is the quickest and easiest method; however this method does require additional lifting tubes. No matter which transfer option you use, the transferable truck body will add valuable flexibility and cost savings to your service fleet.

Be the most envied tech in your trade!

When it comes time to up fitting a work truck, there are a few things to consider. Accessories, Accessories, and Accessories! Not only can they help with organization and make you more efficient, but it can also make for a safer work environment. With a Fleetwest service body we have the innovative solutions to create the ideal work truck so you can work smarter, not harder!

Durashell 175LP 

Driving a work truck can make getting into parking structures difficult. Fleetwest tackled that solution head on with a ladder rack that does not compromise storage space. This low-profile ladder rack is the first integrated ergonomic ladder rack of its kind. The hydraulic double-drop down ladder rack is 8" shorter and 60 lbs. lighter than traditional work truck ladder racks. Drivers will have improved fuel economy because of the lighter weight and better aerodynamics. Technicians also benefit from the convenience of a low-profile work truck that can drive into parking garages, car washes, and drive-thru restaurants.



Accessories that optimize service body space and make the job easier can take a work truck from good to great. The fiberglass Durashell, by Fleetwest can be equipped with a long list of options for that ideal work truck. A few examples are:

·         100 percent extension, 1000 lb. capacity aluminum slides
           make accessing supplies easy and painless
·         Cabinets and shelving with side access provide organized storage
           to keep track of inventory
·         Dividers and storage bins in various sizes to help with proper tool storage
·         Additional interior and exterior LED lighting for convenience and safety
·         Low profile, hydraulic ladder racks for easy accessibility

Whatever you accessorize your Fleetwest service body with, it will make you the most efficient and envied technician in your trade.

Custom pickup work truck

Finding a truck to fit your inner personality is easier today than it was even 10 years ago. It is now more popular than ever to get a customized truck straight from the dealerships. Special edition pickups are available from all the major manufacturers. Many truck owners in the past would drive a truck off the dealership lot and then start the painstaking customization process, piece by piece. Now you can walk into any dealership and every truck looks custom. Even if it’s the same truck, because of the options available to you the customer. Everything cosmetic with options like custom rims, grilles, emblems, paint jobs, etc. to function such as cab size, tow packages, side steps, bed liners, lights…and the list goes on and on! Take for example the Sublime Green Limited Edition Dodge Ram 1500.

The same process can be done with your work pickup truck. You can start with the truck you have or start shopping for a brand new truck and Fleetwest can help you build a work truck that suits you and your company needs. Choose a Load’N’Go model and then start adding your options, such as:

• Ladder or material racks
• Slide out trays
• Adjustable shelving
• Drawer dividers
• Vice Mounts & Tool Holders

The customizing doesn’t have to stop there, either. The service bodies all come to you white powder coated, the perfect canvas for your creation to paint or even wrap it. One of my favorite examples is "Big Red" that Pro Pickup Magazine customized a Fleetwest Load'N'Go for a give away back in 2013.

The Fleetwest service body models fix to the truck bed using a clamping system, making them fully transferable from one truck bed to another.  Even fully loaded! Call Fleetwest today toll-free in the U.S. at (866) 497-7200 and create your own limited edition. www.fleetwest.net

To Buy or Lease?? That is the Question...

Have you wanted or needed to buy a new work truck? The next question that every business owner or fleet manager must now answer...Do we lease or do we buy a new work truck?

Unfortunately, this question will need to be asked and answered several times. Even after the pros and cons, every financial option and business demands have been weighed, there is always that little voice of doubt- “did I make the right choice?” The answer is never clear cut and depending on your company’s needs, both options have their advantages. Leasing a new vehicle has its appeal, but is more restrictive and ultimately more expensive than buying and keeping it for a while.

Leasing Pros:
• Lease payments are lower than loan payments
• Get a new car every few years
      - Latest safety equipment, technology and warranty
• No hassles at the end of a lease
      - Hand over keys if all requirements were met
• Additional financial incentives
      - Can be claimed as a tax deduction

Leasing Cons:
• You don’t own the vehicle
      - Must be maintained in excellent condition and no modifying
• Penalties for wear, tear, and mileage
    - Plan to pay for excessive mileage or poor condition
• Depreciation fees at end of lease
• Endless payments
      - Could end up paying more in the long run

Whether you lease or buy, Fleetwest has the service body for your fleet work truck. Fleetwest offers both heavy duty steel and fiberglass service bodies that are 100% transferable, even fully loaded, with a no holes drilled installation. These units are built to outlast many vehicles. That makes them a better return on investment! Not to mention more efficient and increase technician productivity. This decision is a no-brainier!
