TruckPartSurplus.com Connects Truckers to Hard-to-Find Truck Parts
GREAT FALLS, Mont.--What do truckers, fleets, and repair shops do when they need to find heavy duty truck parts? The truth is, their options are limited. Buying parts for heavy duty trucks is costly and secondhand parts are often hard to find. That’s where Truck Parts Solutions Inc. comes in.
Truck Parts Solutions Inc. runs a set of websites that help connect buyers and sellers of heavy duty truck parts. The company has been operating since 1994 and has a strong track-record in the industry finding backordered, rare, obsolete and old parts.
“We get calls and emails for heavy duty parts every day,” says Scott Tetz, president of the company. “Often, by the time the caller contacts us, they’ve already tried everything they can think of to get the part they need. Their vehicle is down and it’s costing them money. They’re frustrated. But we can help.”
TruckPartSurplus.com has a vast inventory of truck parts. The website is free and easy to use. The user simply types in any portion of the part number of the part they’re looking for and then clicks the search button. The search engine then scans the website’s entire inventory and displays the results. The user then clicks on the link for the part they want and calls the company selling the item. All transactions are handled between the buyer and seller.
“Parts for heavy duty trucks are unique,” Tetz explains. “Sometimes the parts are small or related to maintenance, like a spring hanger or motor mount. And often it’s not cost effective for salvage yards to remove them for resale. So for a trucker to find someone who is selling the exact part requires an exhaustive search. With our website, it’s as easy as a click of the mouse.”
It took years in the industry and constant contact with heavy truck part companies across the country for Truck Parts Solutions Inc. to develop its comprehensive database. Its inventory is largely from companies who sell heavy duty truck parts either because they can’t return them to the manufacturer or they want to sell their parts faster. The website currently has hundreds of thousands of different parts in the system.
“Most truck part companies send us their whole inventory,” says Tetz. “They know that through us, they can sell their parts internationally which is important in the truck parts business. What sells in one part of the country can be hard-to-find in other places, and our website links buyers and sellers from around the world.”
The site is already catching on. There are hundreds of users logging on every day, and the number is growing.
Truck Parts Solutions has other websites as well, like www.PartSeek.com and www.TruckPartsInventory.com to help find recycled or used truck parts. For more information on heavy duty truck parts or information on how to obtain parts, go to www.TruckPartSurplus.com or call 1-877-989-7337.
