The operators about to need more vehicles.

A haulier cannot quietly double its fleet. Before a single truck is ordered, the operator has to apply to run it, and that application is dated, counted and public, weeks before the decision. The order comes after, and so, usually, does the dealer who hears about it last.

How a truck and trailer dealer reads the card.

For a dealer the number that matters is the gap between the vehicles a haulier may run and the vehicles it owns. The card gives that gap, where the new vehicles will be based and whether the company can pay, before the operator has asked anyone for a quote.

The size of the market first, without names: Hauliers expanding in the UK, counted weekly on CapexRadar, the engine behind Stanfell.

  1. The count before and the count after, so you size the order instead of guessing at it.
  2. Whether the operator runs its own workshop, which decides whether you are selling a vehicle or a vehicle and its maintenance.
  3. What the last accounts say about cash, so you know whether to lead with a price or with a payment.

Truck and trailer sales leads: your questions.

Do you tell me what make or type of vehicle they will buy?
No, and we would be guessing if we did. We tell you how many vehicles and trailers, where, and what the company can afford. What it runs today is the first question on your call.
Is this useful for used vehicle dealers as well as new?
Often more so. A small operator growing from six to ten vehicles on thin accounts is far more likely to buy used, and the card tells you which kind of operator you are looking at.

If this is what you sell, this is your category.

You sell new and used vehicles, trailers, bodies, tyres, parts, remarketing. Choose “Vehicles, trailers and workshop” when you sign in and every card you are shown is read for that trade.
