Why Milwaukee-Area Buyers Choose First Class 8
Worth the drive.
We're about 90 minutes from downtown Milwaukee. Most of our southeast Wisconsin buyers make it a half-day trip and leave with the truck.
Wisconsin-friendly.
We do business with Wisconsin customers every week and are happy to help you understand the out-of-state purchase process. We don't title in Wisconsin directly, but we'll provide everything you need to register the truck through your local Wisconsin DOT.
Hand-picked inventory.
Every truck on our lot has been evaluated before it gets listed. We specialize exclusively in Class 8 used trucks — sleepers, day cabs, and select trailers.
Financing without the runaround.
We work with multiple commercial truck lenders, including options for buyers rebuilding credit. Apply online before you make the trip.
