Fleets vehicles are needed not only by businesses in the freight, transportation, and logistics industries but also in a wide spectrum of skilled trade fields.

The CFF team knows this better than most because we’ve been working side-by-side with these skilled tradesmen, providing financing for the purchase of medium-duty fleet vehicles for 25 years. After all, “We Finance America One Truck at a Time®”

Once again in 2021, vocational fields and trade industries are keeping financing demand high for purchasing medium-duty fleet vehicles and equipment. And today there is more power in the hands of individual workers who are willing to transition to high-demand careers, like high-paying skilled trade jobs. Let’s take a look at some of these fields that drive demand for fleet vehicle financing and current salary projections.

Construction Managers – 2021

The median salary for a construction manager is $95,260! That’s serious moolah, right? It’s well deserved. You see, construction managers are responsible for nearly every aspect of a given building project and often need fleet vehicles to transport their materials, tools, and supplies.

They must ensure projects are completed on time, according to specifications, and on budget.

Even more, they are many times responsible for:

  • Overseeing the negotiation of a quality contract for a construction project
  • Ensuring they are properly staffed to complete a building project
  • Checking to be sure that the proper materials have been ordered
  • Addressing safety concerns properly
  • Correctly completing the building project

Elevator Mechanic – 2021

These guys make an average of $84,990 a year and are in high demand! Knowing that elevators are human transport systems that can pull riders hundreds or thousands of feet in the air give some credibility to the pay range of these skilled workers.

Work conditions can also be challenging for elevator installers & repair tradesmen. They have to crawl into cramped spaces or deal with great heights. With that said, elevator work is one of the most lucrative trades you can find.

These guys finance medium-duty fleet vehicles to carry their tools and materials to jobs.

Landscape Architect – 2021

Who knew?!? Landscape architects get paid an average of $69,360 a year!

Landscape architects design, develop, and maintain attractive and functional outdoor spaces. Jobs may be as small as residential home yards and as large as college campuses and large city parks.

These professionals may also be employed by large organizations, governmental organizations, private architecture firms, or work for their own businesses.

These tradesmen purchase box trucks and medium duty vehicles to carry their tools, plants and other materials needed for their jobs.

Rotary Drill Operators – 2021

Rotary drill operators bring in an annual average of $54,980 in 2021!

The role of a rotary drill operator is very specific to the oil and gas industry, operating various drills to help extract oil and gas from underground.

No special education is needed, just on-the-job training for this skilled position.

Electricians – 2021

Electricians earn an average of $56,180 a year and have been some of the most demanded tradesmen for the last century.

Even with the many advancements in devices, appliances and electrical systems in homes and buildings, electricians have only gained more demand because all these items need maintenance and repair.

That’s why the demand for financing to purchase fleet vehicles is so steady for electrical companies.
