Roadside Truck Repair Services Used Trucks

It seems that many older heavy duty trucks, tractor trailers, freightliners, buses, recreational vehicles (RV) and reefers are being wholesaled.

In a recent FixonRoad.com™ Truck Repair and Services blog entry, it was reported that more than 50% of owners of 1 year old heavy duty truck engines have had needed truck repair services to correct problems with truck emissions.

Strangely enough, used truck sales fell 20 percent from June to July of 2010.  It seems that even with the dip in sales, used truck sales are still 43 percent above 2009.

A major factor in the decision to purchase a used truck lies in the cost of truck repair services.  It’s not always easy to tell if a used truck is in need of costly truck repair services.  When purchasing a used truck you can be sure that you will need to inspect the vehicle fully.  However, sometimes future truck repairs are not so easy to predict.

It seems that many older heavy duty trucks, tractor trailers, freightliners, buses, recreational vehicles (RV) and reefers are being wholesaled.

Fix on Road: Reefers Explained

Reefer Refrigerator Truck

Much of the long-distance refrigerated transport by truck is done using articulated trucks pulling refrigerated semi-trailers (reefers).

A ‘reefer’ refers to a refrigerator truck designed to carry freight at specific low temperatures.  Reefers are trucks with cooling systems.

A refrigerated semi trailer is a heavy truck for transporting goods that must be kept cold.  Reefers all contain refrigeration units.  A vent door is made of movable panels that are used to regulate the air intake.  Clearance lights indicate the form and dimensions of the specific reefer truck.  An upper side-rail is a truck part that in essence is a beam that runs the length of the upper frame of the reefer.  The rear reflector is a light-reflecting device that marks the back end of the reefer.  The lower side-rail is a beam that runs the length of the lower frame.  Support legs hold the semitrailer in a horizontal position.  A piece of metal that protects the end of the support leg of the reefer is called the sand shoe.  A front reflector marks the front end of the reefer using a light-reflecting device.
