The safety of glider trucks is generally comparable to that of new trucks, as they use new or refurbished truck bodies and are subject to the same safety regulations as new vehicles. However, there are some factors that can affect the safety of glider trucks.

One factor is the quality of the refurbished engine and transmission used in the glider kit. If these components are not properly refurbished or maintained, they can be prone to failure and increase the risk of accidents. Additionally, if the engine or transmission is significantly older than the truck body, it may not be designed to work optimally with the other components, which could also affect safety.

Another factor is the maintenance of the vehicle. Like any other vehicle, regular maintenance and inspection of a glider truck is crucial to ensuring its safe operation. Owners of glider trucks should make sure that they follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule and address any issues or repairs promptly.

Overall, if a glider truck is properly maintained and the refurbished engine and transmission are of high quality, it can be a safe and reliable option for transportation.

Client testimonials

There is nothing that makes us happier than when a client grows their business because of the financing we helped them with..

It took my bank 13 days and lots of documentations to initially approve my truck loan for my business loan. When the bank started to get the title for the truck, the loan came to a complete stop. The bank told me they can’t finance glider trucks and to pick a differnt truck. During entire loan process, the bank manager said they can finance glider trucks. I went ballistic. Luckilly the dealership recommended Glider Trucks and two days later I closed with a lower monthly payment then my bank of 15 years rescinded from me. Problem solved.

I started using Glider Truck Loans becauseit was the only truck lender that I could find that funded high mileage trucks for new trucking businesses. I have stayed loyal to Gider Truck Loans, since they helped my trucking company grow in to the profitable 53 truck fleet it is today. Most of the trucks I finaced had no down payment and great interest rates. I definitely owe Glider Trucks Loans a debtr of gratitute for all the help beyond financing they have provided my business.
