Heard County was fortunate recently to purchase a Freightliner
Lowboy Truck for the Heard County Public Works Department.
Public Works Director Darold Wiggins traveled to Savannah,
Georgia recently to the Surplus Property Division of the Georgia
Department of Administrative Services to inspect several trucks with
the possibility of replacing much older models. The truck shown
was in excellent shape with approximately 85,000 miles and was
purchased for $3,500.00. After a new paint job and a few minor
repairs to the exterior, the total cost of the truck was $8,500.00. A
new Freightliner truck would have cost the county about $40,000.00.
