HOLY BUYER BEWARE - Buying a truck form here nearly put my company out of business. It's hard enough to make it out here without getting ripped off by another company. The long and short of it is they misrepresented the trucks they sold me. They didn't refurbish them as they marketed on their website. They wouldn't let me out of the contract even though I never even used the trucks they sold me because each one showed up all shined up on the outside but completely rusted out junk on the inside. Hell they even put electrical tape on corroded brake lines. Polished turds is what comes to mind. I lost thousands of dollars on this transaction and ultimately had to pay another company to replace the entire hydraulic system and another company to do the electrical all within the first few months of owning it. I would strongly suggest that you don't buy from here but if you are a glutton for punishment please make sure you have a lawyer revise their sales agreement so there is a clause that will allow you to get a refund if the truck isn't what they say it is. I had a lawyer review the contract and they said they wrote this so skewed in their favor so that you can't pursue any type of legal action or hope for a refund. Once you buy it, your stuck with it. In response: I won't share my legal name but I find it hard to believe your team doesn't recall this horrible deal you did last year, does this type of thing happen that often over there? I personally reached out to Erik pleading for him to let me out of this deal as my company was on the verge of going out of business due to the numerous issues these two trucks had. I explained to him and his management that I put my whole life savings into my company and buying these trucks from i-80 nearly cost me everything. He never responded and after a while, his management wouldn't respond either. Leaving a review on Yelp seems to be the only way I can get a response from the owner... hmmm I wonder why that is? I pleaded with their management for several months. I sent emails, calls, texts, and I even considered flying out there again to address them in person. Eventually the management there stopped answering my calls and wouldn't return messages. I was out of time and almost out of money, I couldn't deal with them any longer. I had no choice but to take it to another company to get it repaired properly. Cost me big money to get everything fixed on this "refurbished" truck. So sir, I won't waste another minute of my time dealing with your company to pursue this resolution you offered. I've already paid another company to fix that truck anyway. The only reason I left this is comment was to provide an accurate description of my dealings with your company as per the intended use of this website. As I said, buyer beware. There are some unethical companies out there... Best of luck to all you small businesses out there and God Bless. read more

We have purchased over a million dollars worth of Equipment from I/80 Equipment sales, and when ever we have had any problems big or small (and as always with buying used equipment there can b problems) I/80 Equipment has always made things right. We have purchased from 75 foot lifts to Grappel trucks and even a crane. Jordan Jones, our sales Rep has always made sure we have got the best deal possible and the quality of reconditioning there company does is by far the best we have seen. We also buy new and used trucks from Altec and other companies. So we do have some experience in Buying equipment! Thanks Jordan! read more

We were interested in purchasing a boom truck from these jokers, we offered the asking price and more to get this truck to us but they still dragged there feet. we gave them a deposit of $2000.00 via CC and because they were not moving we canceled the purchase. long story short. I spoke to the sales men Rick and the sales manager as well as the operations manager all on separate occasions and all of them were terrible and passed the buck to the next person. the operations manager basicly would not help, as she said " I have to go to a meeting and she expressed she did all she could which was nothing. Watch out Dont trust them. read more

I was cold called about a purchase of a 70 ft. lift. Jordan offered the equipment with the price they wanted. After a few back and forth emails I thought we were close to an agreement. The following week I made several attempts to contact Jordan and he refused to take or return my calls or emails even after I stated that I was ready to give the required down payment and move forward on the purchase. I can only take away from this that they are not people of their word there and do not have common courtesy for potential customers, so why would I want to trust them after the sale. A simple "can't do it for the price I stated" would have been good enough to keep from writing this review. Honesty and integrity are all I look for in making a purchase like this. read more

We recently purchased our second forestry truck from I-80 Equipment and could not be happier with the results. This truck has been able to get all of our tasks done with no problems. We were able to get a truck with under 100k miles in a price range we were looking for. There are a few surface scratches, but it's a used truck and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the truck all around. I was expecting the truck to come with some mechanical issues, but haven't had any in the couple months since we purchased the truck. Our sales rep, Jordan Jones, was great about keeping us in the loop. Our truck was a day late on delivery, because of a mechanical issue their quality assurance team found before delivery. Jordan was great about touching base on both of our trucks. He followed up several times after we received the trucks, wanting to know if they were both running well. All in all, a great experience working with them! read more

Great experience with these guys. I was skeptical at first since I was out of State but they were real easy to deal with. I got a Hi-Ranger boom with a chipper body on a Ford chassis. Most of these trucks on the used market are in pretty rough shape so I was happy to find one that had been refurbished so well and in my price range. I'd recommend I-80 if you're looking for a good truck. read more

Worse company to work for. Shop manager yells and screams and cussed his employees out, not to mention changing odometers clusters to read less then what they do, saw one get changed from 183,000 miles to 118,000 miles they use a company called my airbags to change the odometers I wouldn't shop nor apply to work their, Not to mention they don't follow dot guidelines and epa rules, spilled diesel gas and oil everywhere by a farm field read more

Brought a recondition truck, delivered 4-18-16 extended boom out in front of their delivery man, Stopped at I 80, explain problem, they asked if I could bring truck to them I did. They repaired the problem, I picked up truck. It is working very well. It was easier to talk face to face. Service department was great with time and repair. I will do business there again, they took care of my request. read more

If you want a truck that looks good sure this is the place to go. If you want a truck that is actually refurbished and extensively gone through like I-80 claims they do, this is not where you want to be shopping. Their definition of refurbished is to slap a new paint job on it and put it out the door. read more

To the public in whole, please beware of the business practices of I-80 equipment. I have purchased a 2006 Ford F-550 bucket truck in Aug 2013, I finally took delivery of the truck 3 months later (Nov 2013). They took my deposit and sat on it for months. When the truck was delivered ( in California) it wasn't the truck they claimed it was. It had many so problems and had to be serviced on the way to California. The truck immediately went into the shop the day of delivery to correct the problems, while in the shop the truck stopped running. The shop diagnosed the problem as a IDM unit, fuel pump problems and electrical issues. After spending 3 Weeks in the shop, the truck was released to go into service. A week later the truck was back in the shop for a different set of problems. And this cycle has continued to this day, in and out of the shop. I have spent out of pocket for towing and repairs over $5000.00 to date, all the time I-80 claimed that the truck has passed a rigorous inspection and testing procedure. You must be wary of this company and the trucks they sale, the will sale you junk and do not return any calls or emails. Don't buy any Ford trucks with the 6.0L diesel engine any year as they are junk from this company, check the recall list for proof. I have tried to work with I-80 since Nov 2013 and they have not responded professionally to any of my request. In closing don't buy from I-80 equipment, you will be sorry you did!!!

We bought 3 boom trucks from I80. They delivered them to us in CA at which time we inspected the trucks. None of them worked properly. They polished these turds and gave them to us. One of the booms had a massive crack that had been disguised with paint, the transfer case (broken) was bypassed on another. We had safety measures bypassed on outriggers, electrical shorts, rotator assembly's completely worn out, air and hydraulic leaks on 2 of them. Improper parts were added for missing original parts. This is only a PARTIAL list. After 4 months of only being able to use one of the trucks we got a quote from a local boom truck repair shop to repair the others. I80 will only pay a partial amount to fix the trucks and we will be picking up a majority of the repair bills. Do not trust or go anywhere near this company if you value your money. Addendum- in order for I80 to pay the small portion of the repair bills they made me take this review down. The check has finally arrived and cleared after 2 months and I thought an update would be appropriate. Also, after getting another truck back from getting the boom repaired we found that they put on the wrong automatic brake adjuster causing the truck to pull hard to the left when breaking. Watch out for shoddy repairs and please do a safety check on your trucks before driving them. Update- the rust on the trucks they painted over is starting to seep out in multiple spots all over. read more

Just leaving leaving I-80 Equipment with my 15th truck that I have bought in the last 6 years . I have bought 11 altec bucket trucks and a couple of versa lift trucks. I have had several small issues with the trucks after using them . Everyone of them were small issues . The sales (Roy ,Sean , and service staff has always been easy to work with and any issues were quickly resolved . They even have sent a driver 6 hours to bring me a part the next day to keep me running . I have spent well over a million dollars with them and will continue to buy trucks from them . read more

This company puts a fresh coat of paint on absolute junk and sells it to people. My truck has been nothing but trouble since the day I got it. While under warranty I received no help from I80, they just played games and did nothing to help me. I literally had bolts with a fresh coat of paint on them falling off of the boom the first time I used the truck. When I looked at the bolts all but 1 thread were painted. That tells me someone was close enough to paint it and didn't give a crap about fixing the problem. The cab has about rattled apart after 1500 miles, oil is leaking from every spot possible, and countless electrical problems which have racked up thousands of dollars worth of repairs. DO NOT BUY FROM I80 EQUIPMENT!!!!! I think the get trucks out of the junk yard, paint them, cover them with their stupid stickers, and sell them to poor suckers like me. read more

It doesn't look like anything has changed from Terry B's comment. We recently bought a T40 placer from I-80. The warranty is a joke, to get anything done you have to ship it back to Illinois to get it fixed. The truck came with what was supposed to be a full reconditioning and inspection, that was not the case. THESE ARE TRULY POLISHED TURDS!! read more

I just purchased a digger truck from I 80, they never sent the title on time, the Temp tag ran out, so it got stuck on a job, very upsetting because i called and emailed them many times about it, they just did not care . I asked to talk to the owner but they did not put me through. read more

SERIOUS BUYER BEWARE! - Was assured that the truck we were looking to purchase was refurbished and rebuilt. Salesman guaranteed ready for work upon delivery. Truck showed up three months late, upon arrival, aerial bucket unit was not functioning. Hydraulic reservoir was 2/3 empty. Hydraulic A/C power inverter was not working and the switch was removed. Hydraulic extension ram was leaking profusely. Bucket had its annual inspection by I-80 technicians. Also, annual DOT inspection done by I-80 technicians. Called with concerns and complaints that we were not going to accept the truck until issues were corrected. They tried several times to try and make us take the truck in and I-80 would reimburse us for the cost to repair. We refused again, not wanting to accept the truck until hydraulic issues were corrected. Instead of taking it to the Al-Tec dealer, 15 miles from our location (Washington), they drove it all the way back to Illinois to fix the problems. After another month, the truck was delivered again with many of the same issues, but they did fix the hydraulic leak in the extension ram. We looked over the aerial boom unit to offer them $6,000 less than asking price and we fixed the aerial units problems. Took the truck to our local trusted mechanic and had DOT inspection done and found another $8,000 in repairs that were needed, that the I-80 technicians wrote off on: front and rear stabilizer bushings were non-existent, springs hanger and bolts were broken, axle stops were missing, rotted airbrake cans(pushed finger through the steel), wiper turn signal assembly broken, tape placed on air and brake lines when they should have been replaced, all rollers were rhino coated solid so they would not roll, all zurt fittings were clogged with rhino coat. The paint job looked great but now rust is bleeding through the paint job. The stabilizer bars were not bolted in. There were loose and painted over bolts on body to frame. Both delivery drivers explained that this was one of the better trucks that they had driven and many buyers had refused delivery. This truck has been constantly breaking down. I highly recommend anyone looking to purchase through I-80 equipment to spend the $1,000 for your boom and DOT inspection to save yourself $10,000. Had this truck been stopped on its 3 legs of travel between Washington state and Illinois, this truck would have been red flagged, shut down and fined heavily by DOT. Had we researched the company better, we would not have been in this situation. We still have not been able to put this truck out in the field with the constant issues. We have had this truck for 2.5 months. This is all fact, I have documentation on all of it. -Derek Fangsrud read more

BEWARE OF THESE GUYS!!!!!!! They sold me a truck and promised it had been gone through from top to bottom by their mechanics. They assured me the truck was safe and ready to put into service. I am in California and the truck was in Illinois. I had to trust that what they were telling me was true. THESE WERE LIES!!!!. The truck I received is a total piece of useless crap!!!! When I received it from the delivery truck it was clear to me that this company and its sales person were in the business of ripping customers off. They give "used car salesmen" a bad name. I could go into detail of all the things wrong with the truck but it is too long a list to post here. I will gladly share pictures and e-mails proving my experiences with this company. I notified I 80 Equipment of the issues with the truck the day I received it in November and they have ignored my concerns then refused to do anything to make it right. I offered to spend $2000 to ship the truck back to them if I could get my money back and they refused. This truck has not been driven one mile. It is not roadworthy. What I-80 does to their customers is a crime; people are in prison for stealing less than they stole from me in my opinion. read more

buyer beware... i bought a truck from this deceptive company and when it showed up it was no where near what they explained. this truck wouldn't even start when it showed up on the flat bed. then after we got it started it broke down due to the fuel system being completely contaminated . we thought this was the end until they drove it again and the turbo blew up un the side of the road. then we had the boom inspected and they found a massive crack in it. so far they have refused to respond to me and i'm already over $10,000 worth of repairs . they are forcing me to get an attorney and sue.....the story is longer and there have been more issues but i'm running out of room.... i am a navy veteran and this is my first negative review of any company i've ever done business with . i've always been able to resolve any issues by working through it. these people are not to be trusted. read more

Stay away from this company!!! They sell you on the fact that your truck will be completely refurbished by their "certified team". They sold us a truck that arrived with the control box hanging by wires and a leaking main seal but that is only the beginning. We had the truck for two months without a title and while lifting a load that the truck should have handled, bent the steel tube. Prior to purchasing this truck, we were told that the boom was replaced with the correct tube when it left there shop. It has now been back at there facility under review for 3 months. The personnel we deal with are not helpful at all and always seem to be in meetings. Oh and the title showed up three months after we purchased the truck shortly after our lawyer sent them a letter asking for our money back. Don't be deceived by this companies sales pitch. They have been a complete frustration to deal with, not to mention we are still making payments on a truck we cannot use. read more
