What’s the best piece of advice you would give to someone looking to buy a truck? 

Don’t make price the main criteria for your decision.

What’s your favourite truck and why?

The Yale ERP 22-235VL Series Counterbalanced 4 wheel electric would be my choice of truck.

Because the Yale ERP looks and performs like an engine powered truck but is versatile and reliable and is visually very pleasant on the eye.
