This week, Strathroy-Caradoc Council greenlit the acquisition of two 2025 Tandem Trucks from Team Truck Centres Limited for $850,580 plus HST. These trucks, serving as a snow plow/dump truck combo, will handle a range of tasks including snow clearance and transporting bulk materials like gravel, asphalt, and sand. To streamline operations and minimize maintenance expenses, the Municipality adheres to a life-cycle management approach, systematically replacing aging vehicles. The Municipality sustains and annually funds a fleet and equipment reserve, pooling resources to cover the planned replacements of vehicles and equipment based on their life cycle requirements.
