Mechanic and Tire Fitter: Two Positions That Will Save You Money In The Long Run

There is nothing wrong with buying second hand equipment when you are starting a new company, it makes you smart, as long as the second hand truck your buy will work for at least another year. If you are in the truck business, you will also want to remember that you will need to find a person to work on the truck when they break down or when they need a service.

You can't just take your truck down to the mechanic around the corner when it breaks down. So you really want a good mechanic with an expertise in fixing your type of trucks. You don't want to cut costs in this department because going to a sub par mechanic will end costing you money in the long run. If you really want to cut costs, buy cheap truck tires and gently used engine parts for your truck.

This way you are paying them a monthly salary, instead of spending thousands of dollars on an outside service station - hiring a person is much cheaper. You will also find that most of the diesel mechanics will know where to get cheap truck tires, so you may want to see what you new employee knows.

If you are going to buy bulk cheap truck tires and store them at your depot, you will want to find a person to fit them for you, so you may want to hire a fitter that will fit your tires, exhausts and shocks. This too will help you cut costs in the long run.
