Dump truck

Treetom · Nov 18, 2011

It's time to get a "new" dump truck. I like the looks of the reconditioned units at BTS Equipment in Romeo, MI. Has anyone had experience with this company? Or another in this region they'd recommend. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I have looked on their site trucks look decent. They were at the TCIA expo. Aren't you fairly close to them being in Michigan?

Looking at their web site, the stuff looks pretty nice. A fresh coat of paint can also hide a lot too. I would look everything over closely, but a company like that doing as much as they do, they don't want to hurt their reputation I wouldn't think. All the trucks look fairly solid.

A couple of years ago I drove 4 hours there (& 4 back) to potentially buy a truck, that looked great in pictures and was told that it was a great truck from their salesman. It turned out to be a repainted rustbucket. Within a minute I knew they had wasted my time.

Man, was I pissed. Personally, I would not waste my time with these guys again.

Hope you have better luck than I did.

BTS is a couple hours from here in Michigan. I've compared their equipment with some of the other tree equipment companies in Michigan and like what I've seen. And what I've heard from one of the sales people. Still in the early stages of making a purchase.

Buyer beware, Squad143. That's why I'm here. Paint covers a multitude of sins. Thanks for your feedback.
