About the Cash for Clunkers Program
In an effort to retire older trucks, a limited amount of government funds are available as rebates for truck owners to upgrade their trucks that service Chatham County, Georgia. These special funds are supplied by U.S. EPA through the Diesel Emission Reduction Act.
 
To qualify for a rebate, the program requires a trade-in of a 2011 and older model-year semi-truck that was not factory equipped with DEF and has made 150 pick-ups and/or drop-offs within an eight-mile radius of the Georgia Port Authority’s Garden City Terminal in the past 12 months. Additionally, the trade-in truck must be operational. Interested applicants can apply for participation with Meadowbrook Leasing, which is the Program’s Financing Vendor.

Once approved, applicants can trade in their qualifying truck for destruction and then replace it with a 2016 or newer model year semi-truck. The recipient will receive up to $45,000 (max of 50% of the purchase price) for reducing the purchase price of the newer truck. Financing for the difference between the newer truck sales price and the rebate is available to qualifying applicants.

Participants are required to annually make 150 pick-ups and/or drop-offs within an eight-mile radius of the Georgia Port Authority for the 12 months following the date of their agreement.

Funding is very limited. Interested owner-operators are encouraged to apply today while funding is still available. Contact us today to learn more about this exciting opportunity.​​
