Fleet managers don't really buy trucks & vans. They buy uptime.

A vehicle can look like great value on paper.
Then it spends three days off the road.
Suddenly the purchase price isn't the number that matters.

Replacement vehicle costs, missed deliveries, driver time, workshop delays and unhappy customers can quickly dwarf relatively small savings made when sourcing the vehicle.

That's why we think the industry needs to talk more about cost per productive day, rather than simply cost per asset.

Would you measure your fleet differently if downtime was shown as a cost against every vehicle?

If you would like us to demonstrate how contract hire and rental can help to keep your business wheels turning and your vehicles earning comment "UPTIME" in the comments section below...

Mileage might be one of the most overrated numbers when buying a used truck

Of course it matters....

But we'd rather understand how those miles were accumulated.

Motorway trunking and 500,000 well-maintained kilometres can tell a very different story from a truck that's spent its life doing intensive stop/start work.

Specification, maintenance history, application and overall condition all deserve a place alongside the odometer.

When you're buying used trucks, what's the first thing you look at?
