When you are searching for a Freightliner M2 for sale, you will need to consider what body type will be most beneficial for your business. While some body types may be obvious, such as a tree trimmer for a tree trimming company or a tow truck for a tow truck company, those having to choose between a flatbed, box truck, or pickup-style back may have to put more thought into what would benefit them the most. When you are making this decision, be sure to consider the following:
- What do you haul? If you haul long planks of wood or need to be able to drive equipment onto the back easily, a flatbed truck may be the way to go. If you move lots of smaller items, a box truck would be ideal and would save you from having to tie down all the time.
- Do you need your hauling area to be weatherproof? If you are moving peoples items, you want to be sure that they do not get rained on, so a box truck would be necessary. If you are hauling debris from construction jobs, then an open back is no big deal.
