Gas truck prices are going up, diesel trucks will be in short supply and tax advantages are disappearing after the New Year. Those who think they will need a truck soon, need to get rolling.

Act now and save money. That is Michelle Dunning's mantra as she prepares her customers to end 2008 on a strong note. Sales Professional for Nalley Motor Trucks in Atlanta, Dunning says however much it sounds like a cliché, it's true. "Act now! Gas truck prices are going up, diesel trucks will be in short supply and tax advantages are disappearing after the New Year. Those who think they will need a truck soon, need to get rolling."

An RTO industry veteran, Dunning has provided trucks to rental-purchase dealers for 15 years, specializing in the Isuzu brand. By joining Nalley in June, she gained access to Hino, International and Peterbilt and can provide a range of light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles with a wide variety of body styles including cargo vans and cab and chassis models for walk-throughs.

Although she enjoys having the ability to offer such a range of products and styles, she is focusing on Isuzu trucks this month as a favorite among her dealers for their comfort and durability. She is making sure they know that Isuzu gas trucks will cost 3.8% more after the first of the year. Those who order before December 18 can keep the 2008 rate. She also cautions that low diesel inventory and production will create shortages in the first quarter. "Review your inventory and place your order to be invoiced by December 31," she says.

According to Dunning, another reason to buy now is that the stimulus package still is available on Isuzu trucks purchased before the end of the year. Dealers will be able to write off 40% of vehicles purchased up to $100,000.

"It pays to take advantage of these opportunities to get a great truck," says Dunning. "I hear over and over from dealers how important their truck is to their business. They don't always realize it when they are starting out, but it is the backbone of an RTO business. Why not pay less for one while you can!"
