All You Need to Know About Medium-Duty Trucks

Buying a truck is a big investment, so it’s not a decision you want to undertake lightly. If you're trying to find something that can suit many different purposes, consider looking into buying a medium-duty truck. These trucks offer you the capacity you need to do a lot of hauling without being too bulky to maneuver.

McCandless Truck Center, serving Colorado and Wyoming, is your local medium-duty truck dealer. Read on to learn more about medium-duty trucks so you can decide whether they're the right option for your hauling needs.

Definition

The Federal Highway Administration as part of the Department of Transportation is the bureau behind the classification of truck types. There are eight different types of trucks, which are sorted into classes, and they’re based on the vehicle’s gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). A medium-duty truck will qualify as a Class 4, 5 or 6 truck, hauling anywhere from 14,001 pounds to 26,000 pounds, roughly. Tow trucks, dump trucks, reefer trucks and cement trucks all fall within these bounds.

Generally, you’re not going to need any type of special licensing to drive a medium-duty truck. However, some states may require you to have a Commercial Driver’s License specifically for operating a medium-duty truck. Make sure you look into what your state requirements are before you make your purchase so you can plan for any training you may have to take.

More Efficiency

Medium-duty trucks are highly efficient due to the fact that they reduce the amount of trips you’d need to make with a smaller vehicle to haul the same amount of cargo. This saves you both time and fuel. These trucks can handle heavy loads, thanks to their sturdy frames and powerful engines, and they’re also reasonably easy to drive on the highway without backing up traffic.

Good Capacity

A medium-duty truck offers you the right amount of cargo space without being obscenely large and expensive. That’s why they’re considered to be a sort of in-between size in the truck world and they’re used in so many different applications. Loggers, manufacturers, construction workers and others regularly utilize medium-duty trucks in their day-to-day work, and you can be one of them!
