For nearly three decades, Don Van Orden Equipment Locators has specialized in selling used tractors and fifth-wheel trucks. The company buys entire fleets of vehicles from major transportation companies and sells them individually and as a group to buyers across the country and around the world.
The company typically does not buy individual trucks or take trade-ins because there is no way to validate proper service. But that doesn’t mean the company is concerned about warranties.
“We encourage prospective buyers to bring a mechanic and check out as many vehicles as they like,” Eenigenburg said. “There are literally hundreds to choose from, but there are no warranties or guarantees on trucks sold.”
