Used Class 8 truck sales fall 24% as prices climb
Original: Used Class 8 retail truck sales fall 24% in August, yet prices go up
Used Class 8 retail truck sales dropped 24% in August compared with the same period a year earlier, yet average retail prices continued to rise. The combination of fewer transactions and higher asking prices suggests tight supply of late-model used heavy trucks and sustained demand from fleets and owner-operators, keeping the market expensive despite the sharp slowdown in sales volume.
Why now: The counterintuitive pairing of falling sales volume with rising prices signals a supply-constrained used truck market that matters to fleet operators and buyers.
