What is a Vocational Truck?

If you’ve heard the term “vocational truck” but you don’t know exactly what it means, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered. A vocational truck simply refers to a truck built to serve a specific job, or vocation. They’re custom-built to fit that job, and they’re a preferred choice for South Florida businesses that need something specialized rather than generic. Vocational trucks have become more and more popular in recent years because of their ability to get the job done right.

Vocational Truck Segments

According to PR Newswire, there are a total of 18 segments of vocational trucks, with 46 sub-segments. However, a lot of those segments cover similar vocations, so we’ve boiled the list down to the most popular options. If any of these segments match your unique business needs, give us a call and we’ll help you out!

  • Service & Utility: Utility trucks can be outfitted with cranes, cargo beds, and the latest safety and visibility features.
  • Garbage, Refuse, & Dump: If you work in the waste management industry, a vocational truck is key for hauling waste and making tight turns through neighborhood streets.
  • Construction: Vocational trucks designed for construction are extra-durable and can be fitted with your business’ custom construction equipment.
  • Food & Beverage: The food and beverage industry is a massive one, and these trucks are designed to be efficient, spacious, and easy to navigate.
  • Fire & Rescue: These trucks are custom-fitted with hoses, ladders, and other apparatus for fire and rescue services.
  • Heavy Haul & Tow: Heavy-hauling trucks are designed to easily tow and carry tough, unwieldy cargo, even through challenging weather conditions and difficult terrain.
