Providing Trucks with Warranties and More
American Truck Group, LLC (ATG) owns more than 400 over the road Class 8 tractor units. These 400 trucks allow more than 400 truckers to become their own boss. It is American Truck Group's goal to help truckers live their dream while helping to put the American trucker back to work.
ATG enters into an agreement with the trucker, which is technically a rental with 1st option to purchase. At the end of the rental period, the Owner-Operator takes title to the truck. In this way he has earned a living and ends up owning a truck outright in his own name. This program is referred to as the "The Golden Rental Program".
American Truck Group not only provides the Owner-Operator a truck, but goes beyond and provides limited warranties with the truck. Realizing that most dealerships sell used trucks on an As Is basis, American Truck Group saw that this did not provide the best possible deal for the trucker. As a result, they provide a national 30 Day Bumper to Bumper Warranty with a low deductible. This warranty gives the customer the peace of mind that he is getting a truck that will operate properly for him and if for any reason it does not, the coverage does not stop there, beyond the 30 day limited warranty, ATG provides another limited warranty at no cost to the customer. It is a 48 Month Warranty, where the customer pays only 50% of the cost of the labor and parts at the American Truck Group Service Facility.
Trucks are mechanical by nature, so with all of the miles that a commercial truck is driven, there will be repair issues that come up. American Truck Group has worked hard to keep the cost of those issues to a minimum. By doing so, it will allow the Owner-Operator to keep more of the money he earns.
Even the Space Shuttle with billions of dollars behind its design and engineer has encountered breakdowns. This is because, like a truck, it is also mechanical by nature. American Truck Group encourages its customers to become as educated mechanically as possible so that they can keep their vehicle moving forward. NASA prepares its astronauts to be fully educated to assist with "in-flight" repairs.
American Truck Group has launched its "Great American Dream" program, whereby customers receive information that can help with the truck, such as performing proper pre-trip inspections before they start a 1,000 mile trip; such an inspection can help prevent breakdowns in the middle of an Arizona desert in the July heat or in the bitter cold of Montana. Beyond the mechanical information, customers also receive business tips. American Truck Group recognizes that owner-operators are self employed business people and works with them at making their business as successful as possible.
American Truck Group goes the extra mile with their customers in providing information on shops around the country, helping to negotiate pricing, offering American Truck Group parts at substantial discounts and arranging for drop shipment of those parts. The ATG Customer on the Road Assistance Department is a 24 hour, 7 day per week department that is on call to help the trucker should the need arise. The department staff provide the necessary connection when help is needed. They make sure that the best solution to get the truck moving again in the fastest time at the lowest cost is worked out for the customer. This is unique in the industry and is one of the keys to the American Truck Group success.
American Truck Group also provides the customer a full service Insurance and Compliance Department to meet its needs. This includes providing insurance, filing IFTA reports, highway use tax and arranging for tags. Additionally this department assists the customer in reviewing the background of companies that they are considering driving for.
American Truck Group.com is located off I-10 in Gulfport, Mississippi on 17 acres. It is well poised for future expansion and looks forward to the day that they can say there are thousands of truckers on the road that they have helped to put back to work.
