Second Hand Trucks for Sale Increase
9th March 2010
The general feeling from speaking to used trucks dealers is that the used trucks sales may be showing signs of incline. It seems that many haulage companies are now opting for to purchase used trucks to carry out their daily runs. The main reason for this current trend has been driven by financial strain. Many company's believe some used trucks for sale within a few year old can do the same job, and can be bought for tens of thousands less. Granted, after another three years these used trucks will be worth much less than if new trucks were purchased now, although the main thing for most businesses presently is to keep running costs down. On paper, buying new trucks and selling them after three years may seem to work out better, although the payments during this three year period will be significantly higher. This may not pose any problem if a Company is sure of three years work ahead, although if not, used trucks are the answer. If payments and running costs can be kept to a minimum, haulers can offer keener rates, therefore keeping businesses afloat and people in work. We believe the key in most businesses at the moment is to keep costs down to stay in business, and eventually demand for haulage and, more importantly, rates will rise taking away many of the risks and may then warrent the purchase of new trucks. But in the meantime, this is good news for dealers offering used trucks for sale.

Commercial Vehicles in Ireland - Cross Border Fines Introduced
10th March 2010
It has now been introduced that governing bodies on both sides of the Irish border exchanging information regarding tickets, road fines and toll charges etc. They have decided to share vehicle registration details on both sides of the border in order to follow up and collect fines from offenders. We believe this pilot scheme will be in place until November 2010. This may affect many of our used commercials drivers and used trucks drivers in both Ireland and Northern Ireland. For years, many of us have avoided paying fines etc. on both sides of the border, but this has come to an end. This new scheme will track down drivers from Republic of Ireland acquiring tickets in Northern Ireland and likewise on the other side. We would like to make this message clear to all used commercials users and maybe we will prevent you from getting fined.
