Key factors to consider include the truck's mileage, engine hours, capacity, loading type (rear, side, or front), and overall condition.

Consider your specific waste collection requirements, route types, and local regulations. Rear loaders are versatile for residential and commercial use, side loaders are efficient for residential routes, and front loaders are ideal for large commercial containers. Evaluate the truck's capacity, maneuverability, and features to match your operational needs.
While Purple Wave does not directly offer financing, we work with various lenders who specialize in equipment financing. We recommend contacting these lenders before the auction to discuss your options and pre-qualify if possible. This will help you bid confidently knowing your financing is in place.
