    In the meantime, per OOIDA newsletter, the used truck sales started to increase along with the freight volumes.
    Fake news?

    I doubt it. Truck prices are down and diesel prices are down. People will be buying them up thinking they’ll get rich. Never mind that rates are down too.

    Good luck to them

    i looked at used trailers to upgrade my one that got totaled for a spare, the supply crunch basically had everyone turning used trailers into scrap, 2016-17 trailers that were in worse shape then my 2010, and that was before rates tanked, you know a majority of trailers haven’t seen a lick of maintainence In years…
