Buyers Report

Great Prices, Great Service At Circle Truck Center

We’ve been doing business with Circle Trucks for about three years. I bought my last five flatbeds with them. I just took delivery of another one yesterday afternoon. And we’re in the middle of building a 50-ton integrated heavy-duty.

They give me great service, great prices. Nobody can touch their prices or service. We’ve been in business for 34 years, have 43 trucks. I run all over the country.

Crawford Knows Trucks

I’ve bought five trucks from Crawford over the past two or three years. I’m getting ready to order another one. They’re honest guys and unbelievably talented when it comes to building a truck. They know what combination to put with what vehicles to make it work. They have a good service department. If you have a problem, they take it right in and take care of it. They don’t mess around.

Custer Products Delivers On Time

I have bought LED lights and towing lights from Custer Products. As soon as I call them, the lights are here the next day. I have had no problem whatsoever with the lights and I am really satisfied with them. I’ve never had a bad experience.

Danco Pac Rats Are Easy To Operate

I have two of Danco’s 21-foot, three-car Pac Rats. I like them because everything is easy to operate, easy to load, and you’re still keeping under 26,000 pounds.

Danco is a great company. Delivery is always on time, which is an important thing. I have had only one small problem, and they took care of it right away. They get things taken care of.

Dicke Products Are Long-Lasting

Dicke puts out a good quality product. They hold up well and they’re long-lasting.

And they have variety of products in the safety lines, which meet federal regulations for safety gear. They always come out with new products and they stay abreast of the federal laws.

I sell them because they’re a higher quality product. I don’t like to sell the cheaper stuff cause I don’t like customers coming back and complaining about it.

I’m Not Just A Number To Integrated Vehicle Leasing

I’ve been dealing with Integrated Vehicle Leasing since 1996. They’re like dealing with family. They know you by name not just as a number. They’re not like any other leasing company. I own a limo company, a trucking company, a garbage collection company, and a towing company, so it’s not just one deal. Over the last 10 years, I’ve financed at least 60 pieces of equipment with them, maybe 100. I’ve got 20 on the books with them right now.

Intek Is An Excellent Company To Work With

We became affiliated with Intek through the Baltimore Expo. We spoke to them about leasing a rotator, and called them after the show. They faxed us out a basic application, we filled it out and sent it back and in no time, the deal was set and done. Prior to us taking delivery, they flew out from their office to go over the paperwork on a one-to-one basis. That was kind of impressive. Intek is an excellent company to work with.

Condor’s Cycle Loader Is Perfectly Designed

We use the Cycle Loader C100 in our towing business all the time, and sell it also. The big plusses are that it allows you to load a motorcycle on the flatbed with one person. It’s extremely well made, it’s very reasonably priced, and it sells very well.

It can be knocked down very easily so it fits in a toolbox and you can set it up in two seconds.
