J&J Truck Bodies & Trailers, a division of Somerset Welding and Steel Inc., and a manufacturer of dump bodies and trailers has announced the launch of its new quick turn program.

Under this program, truck dealers, distributors, and owner/operators can have their trucks mounted with aluminum or steel dump bodies in just 15 working days after receipt of the chassis at the J&J plant.

Limited models and options are available, however, the company has chosen its two most popular dump bodies to include under this program.

The DynaHauler/LWC-QT is a lighter weight Hardox steel dump body and the DynaHauler/MH-QT is an aluminum dump body. Both models are designed to haul sand, gravel, asphalt and other similar materials.

“In today’s increasingly competitive marketplace, we realize that owner/operators need quick response times when ordering dump bodies for their trucks. Truck dealers and distributors also want faster turnaround for their chassis customers. This new quick turn program has been designed to answer this need and provides our customers with quality dump bodies that are high strength, lighter weight, competitively priced, and delivered to them in just 15 working days,” said S. William Riggs, company president.

Some program limitations will apply to the new quick turn schedule.
