There's no shortage of trucks sitting on lots in Hattiesburg. But if you've been shopping around Forrest County, you already know the deal — most of those franchise lots are running the same auction trucks through the same detail bay and sticking the same markup on them. Petal and Hattiesburg buyers have been figuring that out.
Dykes Motors is in Collins, about 40 minutes south on Highway 49. We keep maybe 15 trucks on the lot at a time. Every one of them got picked on purpose.
Nobody's Chasing You Around the Lot
Big lots have guys standing at the door waiting on you. They don't care what you actually need. They just need to hit their number this month.
That's not how we run things. Come look. Pop a hood. Ask whatever you want. If you're going back and forth on diesel versus gas, we'll give you a straight answer. We actually wrote that one up — diesel vs gas, which used truck makes sense.
We Don't Buy Trucks at Auction in Bulk
Big dealers buy 30 trucks at a time sight unseen and hope most of them are decent. We buy one at a time. We go through the service history. If something doesn't check out, we pass on it.
That's the reason people from Petal, Oak Grove, and Sumrall keep driving down here. They got burned somewhere else first. If you want to know how to check a diesel truck's history yourself before you buy anything, here's what to look for.
Financing Without the Games
We work with multiple lenders. You can apply online in a few minutes and know what you're working with before you make the drive. No four-square. No "let me talk to my manager." Just numbers.
It's Not That Far
Collins is 40 minutes from Petal on 49. Folks from all over Forrest County — Hattiesburg, Oak Grove, Sumrall — come down here. Once you see the difference between what we carry and what's sitting on those big lots, it makes sense.
