Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Paccar shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Paccar offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Paccar at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Paccar? Wrong! If the Paccar is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Paccar then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Paccar? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Paccar and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Paccar wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Paccar then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Paccar site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Paccar, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Paccar, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

PACCAR, Inc. is the third largest manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks in the world (after Volvo and Daimlerchrysler), and has substantial manufacture in light and medium vehicles through its various subsidiaries.

History Based in Bellevue, Washington, it was founded in 1905 by William Pigott, Sr., as the Seattle, Washington Car Manufacturing Company. Its original business was the production of railway and logging equipment. Upon a subsequent merger with a Portland, Oregon firm, Twohy Brothers, Seattle Car Manufacturing Company became the Pacific Car and Foundry Company.

During the Second World War, it was involved in war production, including Sherman tanks for the U.S. Army.

Pacific Car and Foundry purchased Seattle's Kenworth Motor Truck Company in 1945 and both Peterbilt Motors Company and the Dart Truck Company 13 years later. In 1972 the corporate name was officially changed to PACCAR Inc, with the Pacific Car and Foundry Company name becoming a subsidiary division.

In 1981, PACCAR acquired Foden Trucks, a United Kingdom manufacturer. Fifteen years later, in 1996, the Netherlands DAF Trucks, at the time in financial difficulties, was acquired.and in 1998 PACCAR acquired the United Kingdom Leyland Trucks for its light and medium truck (6 to 44 tonnes) design and manufacture capability.

With its Peterbilt, Kenworth and DAF nameplates, PACCAR ranks second in production numbers in the United States and third in production numbers globally in "big rig" truck production. The leading unit producer in the United States is Freightliner LLC, a unit of DaimlerChrysler. Other major competitors in the heavy-truck business include Navistar International, and AB Volvo.
