How Are Commercial Trucks Used?

Commercial trucks are defined as vehicles used for the transportation of goods or passengers for business purposes. This means a wide array of vehicle types can fall into the commercial truck category! Our team at KA Commercial Trucks has put together a brief list of common ways these vehicles can be used. 

1. For Transporting Goods

The most common but general use of a commercial truck is to haul and deliver various goods. Semi trucks that bring your favorite snacks to the grocery store, for example, are essential for our economy. 

Other examples of transported goods include raw materials for construction projects, various parts for an assembly line, and home furniture deliveries. Any item that needs to be moved from one place to another is likely transported in a commercial truck!

2. For Garbage Collection

When you see your local garbage truck in your neighborhood, you’re actually looking at a commercial truck. You can thank your local workers and today's vehicle technology for keeping your trash cans empty. 

3. For Fighting Fires

Another common use for commercial trucks is fighting fires. That’s right, your local fire engine truck is in fact a commercial vehicle! They’re heavy duty design helps firefighters do their job well. 

4. For Transporting School Children
