Some questions to the experienced crew -
1. Have you ever had times like this where there is a shortage on new trucks?
2. What lists, classifieds, or national searches are available for sourcing new trucks?
3. Does anyone have any direct contacts of dealers with new trucks available / companies or fleets, that are selling their new trucks? if so and can share / PM info it would be appreciated.
Thank You

1- yes
2 - truck paper, Richie brothers auction (yes sometimes there are new trucks)
3 - of course, but won’t share.TowNHaul, Eddiec and homeskillet Thank this. -
1. No, as far as a true shortage of new trucks. In the late 90’s there was a strike and Peterbilts were 18 months out for a while but that was only one manufacturer.
2. Internet has many sources.
3. Start calling dealers if you need a new truck. Having the money in hand and ready to go will help your process. You may get lucky and find one that had a cancellation or you may get put in touch with someone willing to sell their new truck, for a nice profit of course.LoneRanger, TowNHaul, Eddiec and 1 other person Thank this. -
Thanks for the reply - have searched #1 extensively, have looked through #2 in my search, however haven't found anything suitable. For #3 what if there's a thank you finders fee included assuming I can make a deal with what's available? Are you open to PM information?

Most of those 26 trucks don’t exist.

Thanks Eddie,
I appreciate the reply as well as link - however none of those listings on truckpaper exist - they're all pre-orders, many of which are deep into 22' without exact dates, and several into 23'.
As for the 3 on social media - Steve and Zach don't have anything that meets above specs - do you have a link for Bill, I didn't find any listings for him.
Thanks
Eddiec Thanks this.
