It’s no secret – 2020 was a challenging year for all.  For many businesses, it was “sink or swim”.  In a recently posted YouTube video, Florida-based MJ TruckNation president, MJ Martin, candidly talked about the tribulations and triumphs the year presented the truck dealership and, perhaps most importantly, revealed hopeful plans for going forward into 2021.

Winners tend to have one thing in common when it comes to adversity – instead of a stumbling block, they use obstacles as stepping stones.  Such has been the case at MJ TruckNation with Martin at the helm.

Going into the chaos of the uncharted waters of the COVID-19 pandemic, Martin closed up shop, locking the doors for the safety of his employees, customers, and of course, himself.  Strict measures were put into place which would eventually lead to the reopening of [...]

Going electric is the latest trend in vehicle technology.  As it stands, the vehicle earning the prestigious title of being the world’s biggest electric vehicle is a whopping 45-ton mining dump truck endearingly dubbed the “eDumper”. 

Formally named the Anglo American Komatsu.  This big boy may have to step aside though.  There’s a new, even bigger, electric beast truck in town.  And…it’s a Dump Truck too but it weighs in at 580,000 pounds (20 tons).

Electric vehicles aren’t the only concept trending.  Focus is being placed on sustainability and other eco-friendly features.  The eDumper is powered by a reserve of hydrogen for fuel as well as electricity.  It is designed for use in the mining industry, a field that is currently filled with controversy with many believing it is guilty of destroying the earth and [...]

If you have a farm or ranch, you know how important it is to have vehicles to help you get the work done.  You need a work truck that runs smoothly so your farm can run smoothly too.  Here’s a look at some of the best types of farm work trucks that are as tough as the work is…and versatile too.

A Flatbed Truck is a must on a farm.  Heavy, odd-shaped, irregular loads that won’t be ruined when they are exposed to the weather can be transported with ease in a Flatbed.  They are designed to take a beating, conquering rough roads and other compromising conditions. 

From hauling hay bales to transporting heavy equipment and even livestock (with proper side rails intact), Flatbed Trucks have a multitude of uses down [...]

If you’re tired of the 8-5 grind, go ahead…quit your day job.  If you have a Dump Truck, or are able to get one, your future is loaded with opportunities.  Many are making super-sized profits in the junk hauling business and you can too.  Whether you pick one of the tons of specialized niches or go for it all, there are plenty of possibilities for utilizing your truck for big bucks.

Junk Hauling

Trash hauling is a business that you don’t need special training for – no degree required.  You don’t even need a CDL unless you go over the 26,000-pound GVWR allowance.  Very little equipment is required.  Demand is typically high and competition is generally low so if [...]
