Cochise County orders dump trucks, light-fleet vehicles amid budget caution

Aug 11, 2026

Public Works reported delivery of a Super 16 dump truck, an order for a 10-wheel dump truck, plans to seek a used garbage truck and to purchase a walking-floor trailer, and an order of 13 light-fleet units (including sheriff vehicles).

The full story

Jason Fosseo summarized recent and planned fleet purchases, saying the county took delivery of a Super 16 dump truck and has a 10-wheel dump truck on order. He said solid waste will likely purchase a used garbage truck because budget constraints limit options for new equipment, and staff plan to buy a walking-floor trailer. For light fleet, he said 13 units have been ordered (including vehicles for the sheriff and county pool), with two already delivered and additional units to be repurposed across departments when they reach the county's retirement mileage thresholds.
