It’s a fact of life that selling a car can be just as excruciating as buying one. And unfortunately, the same goes for trucks. Selling a vehicle involves paperwork, dealing with customers who want to pay less than what you’re asking, and then, of course, there’s getting your vehicle to look presentable enough for someone to consider purchasing it. It’s a lot of work. This is why selling your vehicle via consignment might be the way to go. A consignment sale will alleviate many of the headaches that come with selling a vehicle by yourself, and allow you to get back to enjoying life a lot quicker.

The advantages to selling a truck via consignment are plenty, and at The Truck Junction, we’ll do all the legwork for you. Because life is challenging enough as it is, we’ll help make it easier.

Accidents happen, but they don’t have to. When you’re behind the wheel of a vehicle, the last thing you want to do is get into a crash. Here are four common types of auto collisions and how to avoid them:

First, front-impact collisions happen when the front end of a vehicle hits the front end of another vehicle. These crashes typically happen on slippery two-way roads. If the road conditions are rough, drive slower than you normally do.

Next, side-impact collisions involve the front end of one car colliding with the side of another car. Side-impact collisions are also known as T-bones. These usually happen at intersections. To prevent a side-impact collision, be sure you’re paying attention to traffic signs and lights. You also want to look both ways before crossing an intersection, even if you have the right of way.

The third type of collision is a rear-end collision. These happen when the front-end of a vehicle collides with the rear of another vehicle. These usually happen when one driver is driving too fast or aggressive. They can also happen in heavy traffic or at stops. To avoid getting into a rear-end collision, give yourself plenty of distance from the cars in front of you. To avoid being rear-ended, drive to the right of faster traffic.

Finally, parking lot collisions happen when cars are navigating spaces and don’t see other cars. It can be difficult to see your surroundings when driving in a parking lot, especially if you’re parked between vehicles that are larger than your own. To avoid accidents, check all of your mirrors several times before putting your foot on the gas. You also want to drive slowly, easing out of a spot at a slow enough speed that you can easily stop if you see a vehicle coming.
