    You know I am not going to let go cheap because of one reason and one reason only. If I were going to find a similar truck and trailer I'd pay a lot more money for and then I'd have to buy an extended worthless warranty and the truck would be in the shop half the time and most warranties won't pay you a penny for breakdowns. I know this truck is solid.

    I put on truck paper for like $250 and also send an email blast to my carrier list thru my brokerage.

    Last truck took a few months to move. Trailers recently sold same day.

    I have heard that it takes 2-3 months to sell a truck. Did you end up getting a good price for it?

    I had good luck selling a trailer at their Peoria auction. People go there to buy. No hassles.

    You know it’s solid, but it’s only worth market price. Only one reason anything doesn’t sell. Price.

    Man, I wish I could say yes but it was such a bear market. This was in March and I practically gave 3 trucks away. Now, this month the five trailers obviously went fast. Maybe things are changing. I’m glad I got rid of those trucks when I did though before corona got serious.
