"In establishing a dedicated used-truck retail fleet sales group, we are allocating significant new management resources to our used-truck sales effort," said Bill Gordon, president of Freightliner's business unit responsible for used-truck operations. "This move is further evidence of out focus on the used-truck business and our commitment to used-truck customers."
According to Gordon, the fleet group will serve fleets that do not have an existing used-truck relationship with a SelecTrucks Center or a dealer.
Customers to be served by the used-truck retail sales group include medium and large fleets that traditionally buy used-trucks or those that currently purchase new, competitively-branded trucks but may be better served by high quality, late model used vehicles, according to Freightliner.
