Body Issues You Should Never Ignore

As long as your truck is running, it might be tempting to ignore small cosmetic issues or put off larger bodywork projects. This is never a good business decision. We’ll outline a few common issues and the reasons you should attend to them sooner rather than later. For instance, any cracking–no matter how small–can provide a passageway for water to enter the interior of the box. Imagine the problem this presents if customers’ goods become soaked or your inventory is ruined. Furthermore, moisture can promote rot, damaging the structural integrity of your vehicle. Also, even surface-level issues can hamper your efforts to increase revenue. If your truck looks bad (i.e., has peeling paint, faded lettering, and/or scratches and dings), potential customers may not form the first impression you hope for. What you think you’re saving by delaying cosmetic refurbishment may cost you in lost opportunities. Finally, delayed body repair projects can greatly shorten the longevity of your commercial vehicle. As your truck loses its protective layers (clear coating, paint, etc.) the underlying components can sustain damage that might otherwise have been prevented by a more timely repair.
