Roofing fleet setup
How Roofing Companies Spec Their Fleets

Owner-Operator (1 truck)

F-350 Crew Cab diesel — crew transport plus towing capability for shingle trailer. Add a utility trailer for tear-off bags. The single-truck solution for smaller roofing operations just getting started.

2-Crew Company

F-350 flatbed for material delivery + F-350 or F-450 dump for tear-off removal. Two trucks covering both core functions — the most common setup for established residential roofing companies.

Multi-Crew Fleet

One flatbed and one dump truck per crew, plus a foreman's F-250 or F-350 crew cab. Fleet pricing through Peoria Ford on 3+ trucks significantly reduces per-unit cost. Section 179 maximizes year-one tax savings.

Frequently asked
Roofing Contractor Truck FAQ
The F-350 chassis cab diesel is the standard recommendation for roofing contractors — either as a flatbed for material delivery or as a dump body for tear-off removal. For owner-operators who need one truck to do both, the F-350 Crew Cab pickup with a gooseneck hitch and shingle trailer is a versatile single-truck setup. Most active roofing companies eventually run at least one of each.
Yes, for lighter roofing operations. An F-250 diesel handles one full pallet of shingles (approximately 3,000 lbs) with room for tools and a small crew. However, most roofing contractors quickly outgrow the F-250's payload limit when running full crews and delivering multiple pallets per job. The F-350 is worth the modest price premium for any contractor doing more than a couple of roofs per week.
Yes. Roofing companies ordering 2+ trucks qualify for Ford fleet pricing through Peoria Ford's Ford Pro BPN dealer status. Fleet pricing, combined with the Section 179 deduction on qualifying commercial vehicles, significantly reduces the net cost of a roofing truck fleet.
