Buy Trucks

Not all trucks are created equal

At Charter Trucks, we welcome you to view our third-party inspection reports, take a test drive, and ask our knowledgeable sales staff questions before making a purchase. Each truck is clearly marked with our Charter Levels – Platinum, Gold, Silver, or As Is – so you can easily assess its condition and value.

The 5 Step Charter Difference

Sourcing

The Charter Difference begins with quality sourcing of reliable used trucks.

Our Experienced Buying Team

Our buying team assesses every truck prior to purchase.

A 3rd Party Inspection

Once a Charter purchases a truck, we use 3rd parties to inspect each vehicle.

Refurbishment

Each truck goes through our refurbishment process. All repairs are done by skilled 3rd-party, or dealer mechanics.

Sales Transparency

Our sales staff is trained to give you a clear picture of what you are purchasing. Total transparency.

If the wheels aren’t turning, you aren’t earning.

Remove the uncertainty from buying a used truck. With the Charter Difference, you get peace of mind.
