Ambition on a budget

Most people dont realize that most municipalities have strict service intervals, these vehicles get everything they need on a scheduled service.

Most of these trucks have a paper trail of service records as well, I have never had a problem with any of these vehicles either. At least you know that they were well maintained, and beleive it or not most have pretty low mileage on them because they spend most of their life locally.


I bought this bucket truck for $4500 at the same auction a few years ago with a little over 60k miles on it.

This is the truck I picked up last weekend to put a flatbed on. We just took off the bed.

I got the auction idea from one of my wife's DMV customers. He kept talking about the deals he got and the fact that you don't have to pay taxes on govt auction vehicles.

We've also bought tons of office equipment, laptops, computers, etc from these auctions.

This time around an older (1994) hydrotech trailer with a 5.6/3500 hot machine and a 500 gallon tank on a dual axle trailer with two heavy duty pivoting hose reels went for $1800.

Pallets of fire hose of varying sizes with nozzles stacked about 4 feet high went for $300-600 each.

Someone got a 2001 40 ft 4700 international bucket truck with 100k miles (diesel) for $7k.

But the deal of the day was a pallet 3 ft high of police cruiser lights for $5.00

As ED I could stand at the podium at the convention and yell:

"Who's you daddy?"

They all answer back in Unison:

"TONY, TONY, TONY"

Ahhhhhhh the power of the ED!
