The price of this type is 30% higher than buying let say box truck. In other words, if a box truck cost $90,000 a reefer truck with same specifications (size, power…) will cost $100,000 or more.
- The first option is to buy new and to take care of them from the beginning to maintain the proper condition of your reefer trucks fleet from the beginning. For new one, of course, you need to spend more money but you will not have headaches’ for additional repairs or unexpected situations. The price can be between $50,000 to $120,000 per truck; the price depends on the size, power, additional equipment (extras in the truck).
- The second option is to buy used and spend less money. This option does not have to be that black if you consult with a professional and do a proper inspect of the reefer trucks condition. The price can vary between $20,000 to $60,000 depending on the size, power, condition and other factors.
