Whether you’re an owner-operator or manage a fleet, having access to the right semi truck parts is an essential part of your business. You want to get the right parts at the fairest price, so our team at White’s International Trucks has put together a brief parts buying guide for you!
Find the Right Supplier
You’ll likely need to work with several suppliers over the course of your career. It can be helpful to find companies you enjoy working with who offer great customer service and fair prices. Some factors to consider when working with a supplier are if they have authentic parts, a good selection, and helpful support.
Delivery Options
Oftentimes you will need to have your parts delivered. This is especially true if you shop online, but sometimes your supplier will need to order parts as well. A major factor of the buying process can be the delivery options. Are there heavy weight fees? Will the dealership deliver once the part arrives at their store? Speak with the seller to determine your options!
As you inquire about these options, you should ask about delivery fees, how long it will take to receive the part, and restocking fees associated with the purchase.
Keep the Receipt
Possibly our biggest advice is to keep the paperwork and receipt from your parts purchases! This isn’t only important if something were to happen with the part, but for maintenance records as well.
The parts you use for your semi-truck are crucial for productivity, safety, and uptime. Our team at White’s International Trucks would love to be a resource for you. Visit us at one of our several North Carolina locations today!
