Top Tips for Finding the Best Commercial Landscaping Vehicle

When building your landscaping business, a critical component of your business planning is optimizing the performance of your landscaping vehicles. Efforts made to increase efficiency and decrease fuel costs and transportation time can significantly improve your cash flow.

To maximize transportation performance, many growing landscape companies look at the benefits of buying or leasing a pickup truck versus a medium duty truck. Smaller businesses often shy away from what appears to be a larger investment with a larger commercial truck, but when looking at the numbers closely, it might actually turn out to be a more cost-effective operation for your business.

If you find yourself taking too many trips to pick up supplies or if your pickup is often sitting down on its springs or wears down its brakes quickly, it might be a good time to look at a medium duty truck to optimize your business operations and reduce overall costs. If you’re working your pickup trucks too hard, that leads to added maintenance and fuel costs that can be reduced by strategically adding a larger commercial vehicle to your fleet.

That being said, there are some landscaping companies who primarily work with larger vehicles but could benefit from adding a couple pickup trucks to their fleet for smaller jobs. That’s why it’s a smart idea to work with a dealership with experience equipping landscaping businesses who can provide guidance on fleet efficiency and can offer a range of vehicles, from pickup trucks to heavy duty trucks, to get the job done.
