5 Money Saving Tips for Semi Truck Drivers

We know how big of a decision it is when you buy a semi truck. But that doesn’t mean you have to break the bank! Whether you’re shopping for your first commercial truck or adding another to your fleet, there are plenty of ways to get the right truck while keeping money in your pocket.

These five budget-friendly tips for semi truck drivers will help you save money when purchasing a dump truck, sleeper, day cab, roll-off, or other heavy-duty truck without sacrificing quality or your cash.

5 WAYS TO SAVE WHEN BUYING A SEMI TRUCK

1. Go with a Used Truck

If a brand new semi truck isn’t in your budget, a used truck is a great option! Pre-owned trucks are a more cost-effective choice and deliver the same excellent value, just at a more affordable price. Before you buy a semi truck, set a realistic budget. Then visit our dealerships where our sales team can help you browse our hundreds of used commercial trucks in stock — from Kenworth to Peterbilt to Mack plus more brands — and find the perfect fit for your job and your budget.

2. Look for Extended Warranties

If you do not want to compromise on quality, a used truck with an extended warranty is a good way to protect yourself against costly repairs. Our commercial truck dealerships stock used Kenworth trucks with remaining engine and aftertreatment warranties — but that selection varies based on seasonality and market conditions.

At our Coopersburg, PA and Swedesboro, NJ locations, we offer free call-in service checks. No appointment needed and at no cost to you! Just give us the last six digits of your VIN and our team will check for any active factory warranty campaigns on your truck.

Our Parts Stores carry the highest quality OEM parts, backed by a nationwide warranty for peace of mind wherever you drive. We stock trusted brands like TRP Parts, Kenworth and PACCAR Genuine Parts, each offering their own warranty coverage to protect your investment. Plus, if we don’t have the exact part you need, our team is always ready to help you track it down quickly.

3. Explore Financing for Lower Monthly Costs

A large part of saving money over time is having the right financing plan. A lower monthly payment keeps a steady cash flow, so you can reinvest in your business or cover expenses like fuel and maintenance. At Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth, we offer competitive truck financing rates, loan terms, and payment plans for qualified buyers.

We can work with you to find a plan that works best for your budget and needs. Fill out our finance form to learn what personal financing options are available for you.

4. Take Advantage of Parts & Service Discounts

The cost it takes to keep your truck running can be expensive. To save on those important components your truck needs, our Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth Parts Departments run monthly sales on essential truck parts and accessories from brands like Kenworth, TRP, PACCAR, Bendix, and more.

5. Plan Regular Maintenance and Repairs

Truck maintenance is crucial to a driver’s budget. Setting aside money each month for routine as well as unexpected maintenance can help you avoid financial stress when breakdowns happen.

Regular maintenance keeps your truck running longer, helping you save money over time. Our Service Centers have monthly deals that help you save on installation and other repair services, done by our skilled technicians. Contact our Service Centers to schedule your next routine or seasonal maintenance appointment.
