Key factors to consider include the truck's mileage, engine hours, capacity, loading type (rear, side, or front), and overall condition. Pay attention to the transmission, hydraulic systems, and any mentioned repair needs. Also, check the truck's GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) to ensure it meets your operational requirements.

When available, Purple Wave includes maintenance information in the truck descriptions. This may include recent repairs, known issues, and service history. We encourage bidders to review this information carefully and ask questions if needed before placing a bid.

Common features include automated cart tippers, winches, various bed capacities (typically 20-40 cubic yards), air brakes, PTO (Power Take-Off) systems, and onboard scales. Many trucks also come equipped with air conditioning, heated mirrors, and backup cameras for operator comfort and safety.

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.

Purple Wave provides detailed photos and descriptions for each truck. While physical inspections are not always possible, we encourage bidders to review all available information carefully. If you have specific questions about a truck's condition, our customer service team can assist in getting additional information from the seller when possible.
