What Is a Commercial Truck?
A commercial truck is a big car that helps move things, carry stuff, and make jobs easier. Some trucks are called box trucks. Some look like the strong semi-trailer trucks. We also see caminhões dumper, caminhões de plataforma, e delivery vans. Each one has a special job.
Why Do You Need To Know the Real Cost?
Buying a truck is not just about paying money and driving away. There are more costs to think about:
- How much money will you pay when you buy?
- How much money will you pay every month to drive?
- What about hidden surprises?

How Do You Pay For Your Truck?
Most people do not pay all at once. You have good choices:
- Commercial truck loans (from banks or credit unions)
- Leasing a truck (pay to use, not to own)
- empréstimos do SBA ou um balloon payment loan for smaller companies
Loan interest is often 5% to 10% for new trucks and 7% to 15% for used ones. You usually pay 10% to 25% down payment. The rest, you pay month by month.
Leasing can be good too. You can learn more about leasing options and when it’s right for you.
What Are The Ongoing Costs?
There’s more to think about after your purchase. Let’s see a list:
- Most trucks use diesel ou gasoline. Some use electric power ou CNG.
- Fuel makes up a big part of your spending! A big semi-truck may get only 5.5 to 7.5 miles per gallon.

- Big repairs: Like fixing an engine or transmission. That can be $15,000 to $20,000 each year, especially if you’re using older commercial trucks.
- Tire costs: One tire can cost $400 to $800.
- Maintenance plans: We can help you set up a maintenance schedule that lowers your costs.
