There are a lot of factors in deciding which Tri-Axle Dump Truck to buy and how you want to outfit it.  Hoover Truck & Bus Centers in Flanders NJ is the best source for Tri-Axle Dump Trucks in the northeast.  Their staff has dozens of years of experience building and selling the most reliable and efficient Tri-Axle Dump Trucks.

  • The first thing to consider is the duty cycle and annual mileage that you are going to be using the truck for.  For a contractor who runs few miles annually, the Western Star 4900 is the right answer.  Features like the severe duty cab, hand routed air/fuel/electrical, and forged door hinges are just a few of the things that make a Western Star 4900 the most reliable vocational truck available.  These features dramatically increase reliability in years seven to fifteen.
  • imageThe second consideration is the weight and axle laws in your jurisdiction and the weight you want to carry.  The axle and weight laws in your jurisdiction will guide you in selecting many of your components.  In New Jersey, the weight and axle laws are not as restrictive as most so a Western Star 4900 with a cross-memberless steel body is the norm.  Hoover Truck and Bus Centers has several Western Star Tri Axle Dump Trucks arriving in May for you to choose from.  If your state follows the Federal Bridge Law or you get paid by the ton, you may opt for a lighter truck like the Freightliner 114SD or an aluminum dump body. 
  • The third consideration is the operator pool that will be running the trucks.  The driver pool is getting smaller and smaller every day.  Features like the Allison automatic transmission allow a greater number of drivers to drive the trucks with less wear and tear.  Hoover Truck & Bus Centers has many Western Star 4700 dump trucks available with Allison automatic transmissions.  Other features that will help hire and keep drivers are premium interiors with heated leather seats which are on all Tri-Axle Dump Trucks at Hoover Truck & Bus Centers.
  • The fourth consideration is the frequency of replacement and trade values.  For companies which use each Tri-Axle Dump Truck near 100,000 miles a year, the professionals at Hoover Bus & Truck Centers recommend that customers turn them over every five years.  This trade cycle coincides with the expiration of the extended engine coverage.  High option content including premium radios, full gauge packages, lots of polished aluminum and custom paint also help to keep values high.  Today, aluminum wheels are expected and a steel wheeled truck would be heavily devalued.
