As a rule, reliable, having low exploitation costs and well-designed maintenance stations extensive network, trucks secure sound financial position for transport enterprises which carry out efficient organization of freight forwarding business. Mobile fleet purchase conditions are much worse than in European counties: leasing and credit rates are 3 – 4 times lower, and price itself is lower too.
