How We’re Different: The Top 10 List

1. We've Been Family-Owned Since 1948

Three generations, one promise: integrity. We’ve been helping businesses, schools, and organizations get the trucks they need for over seven decades.

2. Our Reputation Is Built on Repeat Customers

Half our sales come from returning buyers—proof that once people work with us, they come back.

3. Our Motto: Zero Commission, No Pressure

Our salespeople aren’t chasing commissions. We focus on matching you with the right truck—no gimmicks, no surprises.

4. We Have the Best Maintained Fleet of Pre-Owned Vans & Trucks in California

From cargo vans to stakebeds, our lot carries the widest range of pre-owned commercial vehicles in the region, all clearly priced and ready to work.

5. Every Truck Is Thoroughly Inspected & Serviced

Every vehicle is inspected, serviced, and road-ready before it leaves the lot. Transparency and quality are standard.

6. Rental Reservations Are Guaranteed

When you reserve a truck with us, it’s yours. We don’t overbook.

7. Fair Rates, No Hidden Fees On Rentals

Our rentals are simple: 24-hour minimums, competitive mileage rates, and no surprise refueling charges.

8. Work-Ready Upfitting On-site

We install shelving, racks, partitions, and security upgrades with fast turnaround. Whether for contractors or fleets, our upfits are professional, durable, and done right.

9. Preventive Maintenance & Repairs

Our in-house team keeps your trucks moving with regular inspections, brake work, tires, and more—completed quickly and done right the first time.

10. Nationwide Shipping & Support

Not local? No problem. We coordinate delivery through trusted providers, ensuring your truck arrives work-ready anywhere in the country, backed by the same support we provide to Bay Area businesses.
