7. What Are Some Considerations When Buying a Used Custom Truck?
I’ve gone a little into this already, especially stressing the actual reason for needing a custom truck. But you need to look into how it was driven and the type of miles (over the road or local). Was the custom truck used by one driver or was it hot seated? And we can’t forget the ever important maintenance concerns. Did they follow a good truck maintenance schedule? If so they should be willing to let you look over the records.
When buying a used custom truck or any used vehicle, look it over. It really is in your best interest to have it inspected by a certified truck mechanic. Lemon laws vary from state to state and no one wants a lemon. Think about it, if you tried to save money by buying a used custom truck and then it breaks down, it will only cost you more in the long run. Get it checked out first by someone who understands things a bit better!

8. What kind of freight can I transport with a custom truck?
Custom trucks can haul most anything, within their weight limit. However it also will depend on the configuration that you designed. If you add special utility boxes or other such items it may reduce your ability to haul materials. Now if it is semi or a van then really customers will be the same. It really does depend on both: the needs of your clients and configuration of the custom truck.
