Questions on Our Used Vehicles?

What other optional features does Penske offer?

Our maintenance and commitment to quality ensures you'll be happy with the mechanical condition of your purchase. Penske can provide optional features like painting, lettering or adding components like liftgates. We can also provide a service to bring the vehicle to you.

What are the legal guidelines for vehicle operation?

Operating a vehicle for commercial purposes is different than operating one for personal use. Generally, a vehicle or combination tractor and trailer exceeding gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 26,000 lbs. requires special licensing and registration. In addition, laws governing legal operation, such as physical exams, drug testing and hours-of-service logs differ for commercial applications. For more details, contact your state's department of transportation.

What does GVW stand for?

GVW stands for gross vehicle weight. It represents the maximum allowable total weight of your vehicle on the road. GVW includes the weight of the vehicle (combined tractor and trailer, if applicable), the driver, fuel and cargo.

Generally, GVW classifications are:

Trucks:

• Light-duty: up to 15,000 lbs.
• Medium-duty: 15,001 lbs. to 26,000 lbs.
• Heavy-duty: 26,001 lbs. or greater

Tractors/trailers:

• Single-axle: typically 45,000 lbs. to 65,000 lbs.
• Tandem-axle: typically 45,000 lbs. to 80,000 lbs.

What is the average age of a Penske Used Vehicle?

Most trucks and tractors are three to six years old. Trailers are generally eight to 12 years old.

Is there a maintenance plan after the sale?

We have a variety of contract maintenance plans. For more information, call 866-309-1962.

Is there a warranty available?

We offer an optional warranty through National Truck Protection (NTP). For more information visit our warranty page.

Are there any additional accessories that may be needed?

Cargo that is temperature sensitive will need a refrigeration/heating unit. Street-level delivery may require a lift gate, walk ramp or side door. Securing devices in the truck body will stabilize your load. Choosing a bench seat versus a bucket seat in the cab may affect efficiency.
