Interstate 80 · about 2,900 miles

Davenport sits on I-80. So do we.

Interstate 80 runs coast to coast, from San Francisco to the New Jersey line, and straight through our backyard. It’s why most of our trucks end up more than 100 miles from home, and why buying from us out of state is routine.

Fly in, drive out. Quad Cities International Airport is about 20 minutes from Davenport.
Drive-away or haul-away. Can’t make the trip? We’ll point you to carriers we know.
Paperwork by mail. Titles and documents go out by mail for out-of-state buyers.

Need a truck we don’t have? Here’s how we find it.

Step 1 of 3

You tell us what you need.

Year range, make, specs, budget, and where it has to end up. The more specific you are, the faster we can find it.
Step 2 of 3

We work the network.

Dealers, brokers and fleets we’ve known for decades. Most of this business still runs on phone calls and handshakes, and we’ve been making those calls for 50 years.
Step 3 of 3

You get a straight answer.

What we found, what it’s really worth, and what it takes to get it to your door, wherever that is.
Tell us what you need

What to look at before you buy any used truck.

Whether you buy from us or anyone else, these are the things worth checking. Ask us about any of them and we’ll walk you through it.

Frame and crossmembers: Look for cracks, welds and rust scale, especially around the suspension hangers and fifth wheel.
Engine history: Pull the ECM report for hours, idle time and fault codes, and ask for any overhaul paperwork.
Service records: Regular oil, coolant and DPF service tells you more than a fresh coat of paint.
Tires and brakes: Measure tread on steers and drives, and check brake linings, drums and air system for leaks.
Emissions system: DPF, DEF and EGR repairs are expensive. Ask what has been replaced and when.
Title and liens: Match the VIN on the title, the frame and the paperwork, and confirm there are no open liens.

Fifty years in. Still answering the phone.

Used Truck Dealer is run by a Davenport dealer who has bought, sold and brokered trucks for more than five decades, including 21 years running a dealership.

The customers who trust us most are the ones who’ve bought from us for years, many of them hundreds of miles away. The new site puts our trucks and our dealer partners’ trucks in one place, and every inquiry still comes to us first. You get a straight answer, not a voicemail.

Straight answers

When does Used Truck Dealer open?

Soon. Everyone on the waitlist hears first, with the opening date and an early look at the first trucks on the site.

What kinds of trucks will you have?

Box trucks, day cabs, sleepers and dump trucks to start, from our own lot and from trusted dealers across the country. ¾-ton and 1-ton pickups for contractors are planned too.

I’m out of state. Can I still buy?

Yes. Most of the trucks we sell go to buyers more than 100 miles from Davenport, and we broker deals for customers all over the country.

How do I get a truck home from Iowa?

Most out-of-state buyers fly into Quad Cities International Airport and drive the truck home. If that doesn’t work, we’ll point you to drive-away and haul-away carriers. Titles and paperwork go out by mail.

Can you find a truck you don’t have listed?

Often, yes. Tell us what you need in the form at the bottom of this page and we’ll be in touch.

I’m a dealer. Can I list my inventory?

Choose “Dealer” when you join and we’ll reach out as we bring dealer inventory onto the site.

What do you do with my email?

We use it for Used Truck Dealer updates only. We don’t sell it or share it, and you can ask to be taken off the list at any time.
