Can you recommend dealers that have new trucks available to buy now?

Only place I’ve seen any new trucks on a lot is the Volvo dealer in Alsip,IL.

They are all white though.

We ordered new trucks in may. Got one so far. The others will arrive sometime after October. Out dealer dose Kenworth, Mack and Volvo at 11 locations. No new trucks available for immediate delivery! They said the other day if we ordered one that day it would be July build date.

They do however have 1 of our old pieces of junk sitting on there lot all shined up waiting for a sucker.

 

I'm picking up a new T680 KW next week. It's not spec and was pre-ordered by the dealer with a bunch of other trucks they keep in their inventory. Getting it through Inland Kenworth in Phoenix. If you change your mind about getting a FL or Volvo, they should have trucks.

 

All you have to do is go to Truckpaper.com, new Freightliners in colors are in there.

 

The mass of trucks at many dealerships are already ordered and specked...ready to be picked up by their buyers. I am afraid that the only way to buy a truck off the lot is when the original buyer decided to withdraw from the deal even though the truck was waiting on him already. I spoke with a Volvo dealer and he said that they require $2 grand deposit, that will be forfeited if the buyer bails on the purchase. He said it was 3-4 months a wait. They must have time of their life, those smooth talk truck dealers.

 

Are you looking for something in particular, or just a Cascadia painted other than white?

 

Hi TruckRunner,

I work for a Freightliner dealership, and I can say for certain that the trucks you're seeing on the lot are already sold, and are ready to be picked up. Right now build-times are pushed back nearly 282 days (for retail sales). There is an extreme demand right now, and new trucks are VERY hard to come by. If you find a dealer who has a new truck, for sale, on their lot, beware. They know what the demand is and are going to mark that truck up higher than usual. If you wish, contact me and I can put you in contact with one our of retail salesmen.

Hope this helps.

 

Would you say other brands such as volvo or pete have build-times as long as the 282 you listed above?

 

I would be lying if I told you anything that doesn't involve Freightliner, but I do know there is a huge demand for trucks, regardless of Make, (maybe not Internationals but.. who wants a Navastar, Maxxforce anyone?).
