Choosing the right articulated dump truck (ADT) for your fleet is a big decision, and Nuss Truck & Equipment is here to support you every step of the way. Whether it’s your first ADT or an addition to your growing fleet, getting input from your entire team — owners, operators, and service managers — can help you make the best choice. Beyond price, consider the total cost of ownership (TCO), reliability, fuel efficiency, and more to ensure the truck you select fits your needs.
For owners and fleet managers, TCO is essential, impacting both long-term costs and earnings. Volvo ADTs, for instance, include fuel-saving features like Automated Traction Control, which maximizes fuel efficiency by auto-adjusting drive combinations to conditions. Consider cycle times and tire matching for your application, both of which affect cost per ton moved. Don’t forget to assess material type and density to ensure your ADT is equipped with the right bed liners, spill guards, or tailgates.
Operators will appreciate ADTs with automatic drive combinations and simple, optimized cab controls. In Volvo ADTs, features like downhill speed control and reverse-by-braking enhance both ease of use and safety. Operators should also check in-cab monitoring systems for real-time data on tire pressure, load capacity, and cycle tracking.
Service managers and mechanics benefit from easy service access, long service intervals, and shared parts across machines. Volvo ADTs come with telematics that report on engine usage, braking patterns, and more, reducing downtime and improving preventive maintenance.
Prepared with this checklist, you and your team can be confident that the ADT you select from Nuss will optimize productivity and keep operating costs down. For more information or to schedule a demo, lease, or purchase, reach out to Nuss Truck & Equipment today!
