Off-Again Month for Used Truck Supply
Retail Volume has Slight Increase
McLEAN, Va., Aug. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In the August 2018 Commercial Truck Guidelines Industry Update, analysts from J.D. Power Valuation Services found the volume of the three most popular sleeper tractors sold through the two largest nationwide auction companies dropped to its lowest level since January.
"Despite production constraints, fleets have been taking delivery of a higher number of new trucks and as we get into the second quarter of 2019, their needs will be closer to being met," said Chris Visser, Commercial Truck Senior Analyst at J.D. Power Valuation Services. "At roughly that time, the acceleration in economic conditions should be moderating to an extent, creating more typical supply and demand conditions."
Major findings in the free monthly report note:
- Auction volume back down to January levels
- Low-mileage trucks remain hot
- Retail volume up mildly
- Depreciation averaging less than 1% per month in 2018
- Most medium duty segments weak in June
- Heavier conventionals were the exception
