Remember if you operate in Canada and/or Mexico you will need to comply with their laws as well as US regulations.
So as I stated above, there are many things to consider in order keeping your trucking business not only competitive, but operational as well. Now let’s touch on some other points to consider regarding medium duty trucks.

Why buy Medium Duty Trucks?
It really depends on your company’s overall business model and how you operate. Sounds like I’m avoiding the question, but I am not. If you are a local delivery company or deliver products and freight to your customer from your place of business these are the right trucks for you.
A common example of this is the typical hardware store, furniture store, or other such business. The customer picks out the lumber (or whatever) they want, but can’t haul in the trunk of their car, so the business delivers it. Other examples are moving trucks, the kind a person rents when moving from one place to another. But there are many example and uses for medium duty trucks:
- Tow trucks
- Cement trucks
- Dump Trucks
- Box Vans
- Construction Sites
- Refrigeration Trucks (like the ice cream truck)
- And so many more examples

Often you are dealing with customers working in locations that a larger truck just can’t operate in. Perhaps your customers only buy small quantities at a time. Or you operate a local delivery service (it can be hard to zip in and out with a full sized semi).
