January 26, 2018 – Coopersburg, PA – What’s ahead for the trucking industry in 2018? Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth is a top option for Kenworth Trucks for sale, and long-experienced observers of the industry. They foresee a strong year to come.

In particular, truck sales are expected to be strong. The market hit a rough patch in 2016, and it took roughly 18 months to turn around. By the end of 2017, there had been several consecutive months of 30%+ year-over-year growth in truck sales, with no signs of slowing down. As the overall national economy has picked up, so has the willingness of trucking companies to invest in new vehicles.

2017 was also notable for seeing a number of major mergers and acquisitions between large trucking companies. Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth sees little reason for this situation to change. With driver manpower still below desired rates, M&A is one of the most effective ways to increase fleet sizes. Done properly, it can benefit all parties. For example, this may open up new opportunities for smaller concerns to be bought up and see new cash injections.

In the meantime, while there are disruptive elements on the horizon, such as the rise of self-driving trucks. Major disruptions still seem to be some years into the future. For now, Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth sees relatively smooth sailing for the trucking industry and many great opportunities to be seized in the year ahead.

January 25, 2018 – Coopersburg, PA – For many truck drivers, the goal is to go truly independent – becoming an owner-operator with their own truck, and their own business venture. Successfully going independent takes bravery and a lot of smart planning, but used Kenworth trucks can make the transition easier.

Kenworth: An Excellent Option

Kenworth trucks are well-known for their excellent engineering and long-term reliability. It is relatively common to see a Kenworth running for a million miles or more before needing a major overhaul, which makes buying used an excellent option for the budding owner-operator. A Kenworth which is just a few years old can often cost half its original price -or less- while still having plenty of years and miles left to offer.

That makes a lot of financial sense when an independent driver is going to be managing a range of expenses including fuel usage and expensive insurance rates. Kenworth’s can help keep those costs down as well, however. The Kenworth T680 is well-known as the most fuel-efficient Class 8 truck on the road, and an excellent purchase for drivers looking for a comfortable sleeper berth that won’t add to their overhead.

Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth wants to help independent owner-operators succeed. With the industry constantly looking for drivers, it is an excellent time to go independent. A smart purchase of used Kenworth trucks can make it financially viable.
