Roll-off/Hook trucks, also known as dumpster trucks, are very popular, using wheels to literally roll the dumpsters on and off.
The benefit of using a roll-off vs. a fixed-body truck is the flexibility to pick up whatever you can get a set of rails under. It can be a dump truck (with an extendable tail), flatbed, tank truck, container carrier, etc. In some instances, a roll-off truck may also replace vehicles already in use and condense your fleet.
Here are some additional benefits of owning a roll-off truck vs a fixed dump truck:
- You can just drop off the dumpsters vs having a fixed dump truck that will need to stand by to get loaded or unloaded.
- Instead of buying multiple fixed dump trucks that would cost you $80K – $200K each, you can invest in multiple dumpsters that will cost you a fraction of the cost ranging between $6K – $15K each depending on the size and type of dumpsters.
Some questions to ask yourself if you think you are ready for a roll-off truck:
- Am I paying someone else to haul things that I can do?
- Are my crews constantly waiting for pickup or delivery?
- What else can I do with it?
By asking yourself these questions, you can determine whether investing in a roll-off or hook truck is the right decision for your business. With their versatility, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, it’s easy to see why so many businesses are turning to roll-off and hook trucks for their transportation needs.
