Oshkosh
Mixer Trucks

The Gold Standard in Ready-Mix

Ask any fleet manager or experienced CDL operator which brand they'd choose for a concrete mixer truck, and the answer is almost always Oshkosh. The company has built its reputation over decades by producing trucks that are more durable, more driver-friendly, and more operationally efficient than any competing brand.

On the used market, Oshkosh trucks consistently command higher prices, sell faster, and stay in service longer. When you're spending $60,000–$150,000 on a used truck, brand reputation isn't a soft factor — it's a financial one.

The Oshkosh S-Series: What You Need to Know

The S-Series is Oshkosh's front-discharge mixer truck line and the most sought-after configuration on the used market. Here's what defines it:

• Front discharge design — The driver controls the discharge chute from inside the cab, watching the pour happen directly in front of the truck. One person can complete an entire pour without getting out of the seat.
• Cummins or Detroit Diesel engine options — Powerful, well-supported powerplants with excellent parts availability nationwide.
• Allison automatic transmission — The industry standard for heavy mixers. Smooth, reliable, and familiar to virtually all CDL operators.
• Tri-axle configuration — Carries a full 10–11 cubic yard drum load while staying compliant with most state bridge laws.
• Rugged chassis — Built for the abuse of daily ready-mix operations — heavy loads, stop-and-go cycles, and construction-site conditions.

Oshkosh Model Years: What Changed & When

Not all model years are equal. Here's a practical breakdown of what changed across key Oshkosh production years and what to know when evaluating used trucks:

• 2007–2009

  The baseline for the modern S-Series era. Pre-2010 trucks are more affordable but may have higher mileage. Emissions standards were less stringent, making engine maintenance simpler on these models. Good value for operations that don't need the latest specs.
• 2010–2013

  EPA emissions updates brought SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) systems to many trucks. Stronger chassis refinements were introduced. The 2010–2013 range represents strong value — newer enough for current operations, available at competitive used prices.
• 2014–2017

  Further emissions compliance updates. Many trucks in this range feature improved cab ergonomics and refined hydraulic systems. The sweet spot for buyers looking for a balance of modern specs and used-market pricing. Highly sought-after.
• 2018–Present

  Current-generation trucks with the most recent emissions systems, safety features, and cab technology. Commanding near-new pricing on the used market due to low availability and high demand. Some 2018+ trucks carry new or rebuilt engines, making them especially attractive.

Which Year Is Right for Your Budget?

Every price tier has a strong use case. Here's how to match your budget to the right year range:

• $35k–$65k
  2007–2009 — Best Entry ValueHigher mileage typical, but strong operational life remaining with proper maintenance history. Pre-SCR engines are simpler to service.
• $65k–$100k
  2010–2013 — Strong Middle GroundModern enough for current ops, competitive used pricing. SCR-equipped but mature technology at this point in their service life.
• $90k–$140k
  2014–2017 — The Sweet SpotBest balance of modern specs, cab refinements, and used-market pricing. Most popular segment for fleet additions.
• $130k+
  2018+ — Near-New PerformanceCurrent-gen specs at a fraction of new-truck cost. Limited availability keeps pricing high — but still $100k+ below a new build.

Oshkosh Trucks — From a Team That Knows Them

Cement Trucks Inc. has specialized in Oshkosh and Terex mixer trucks for over 40 years. That means when you call, you're talking to people who have evaluated hundreds of these trucks — not a general used equipment lot that happens to have a mixer in the back.

Every truck we sell comes with video documentation — cold start, blow-by check, clear stacks, drum rotation, and a full frame walkaround — so you can evaluate from anywhere in the country before arranging transport.
