Check the date of last inspection
Every state and metropolitan area has different standards for inspections, though the core issues are the same across the board. Make sure the flatbed trucks inspection is up to date. If they have the previous inspection records, check those as well.
It is better to get too much information than not enough.
Ask was the flatbed truck involved in traffic accident
This is so important when purchasing any used vehicle. But if you’re going to buy a flatbed truck for your business you must know its history. Run a Carfax report on it. That is right! You can run a report on Carfax for big trucks as too! Check other records, do whatever it takes, but don’t just take the owner’s word for it.
The last thing you want is an unsafe flatbed truck. If it was in an accident, repaired and back in service there could be a whole slew of unseen problems. The frame could be bent or have a hairline fracture. The last thing you want is an issue while hauling for a customer.
Something to think about; if the vehicle looks great but was in an accident, there must be a reason they are selling it. Don’t buy it, think about it first, and then make the decision.
