I'm happy to announce that over the weekend, a new site within Overdrive's ecosystem went live for used-truck history reports.
Truckhistory.OverdriveOnline.com is now the central site for the RigDig Truck History Report, offering prospective used-truck buyers verified information on a piece of equipment's title, odometer, total loss, inspection, crash and other histories.
The move to the new site came with significant updates to the individual user experience downloading a report, said RigDig BI Client Success Team Lead Adam Morrison. "It’s built specifically for the owner-operators," who can rest easy "knowing they’ve got a tool to give them transparency" about a vehicle's history.
Morrison feels updates aimed at speeding the report lookup/purchase process ought to eliminate prior "hassle and barriers to getting the report that they need," he said. No more account set-up requirements, for instance, he added, enabling users to quickly type in a vehicle's VIN, add contact information and a method of payment, and get their report. "We've streamlined the process significantly" for more quick transactions.
One report costs $34.95.
From the beginning of the RigDig Truck History Report's existence now more than a decade ago, it's operated with a goal of providing transparency to commercial truck buyers, recognizing that "in the consumer space," Morrison said, use of "history reports" like the Carfax service is "ubiquitous."
"If you're buying a $150,000 truck, you should probably be able to get a report," too, on the history of what will be your most important business tool, he added. You'll learn about not only junk or salvage title brands but also -- via the inspection, crash and total loss claims histories -- "where the truck has been, who's been running it," and whether it's been involved in an accident that could warrant further investigation of past maintenance and current condition.
