You want see new truck prices going down until allocations equal out. New truck makers as new car makers aren’t in a hurry to get that corrected either. They are making bank on new trucks right now.
Truck prices one year later. First was the rate crash and now the truck price crash is under way.

Good trucks are still ridiculously overprice just look on auction time and see what well used 379s 389s and used up W900's are bring'n its crazy their all around the 100k with 1.5 million on the clock...
Its the generic plastic throw away trucks that have goten cheaper..
Plus interest has gone up Significantly on financing in the last 12 mthsbzinger, Rideandrepair and 201 Thank this. -
Imagine paying 130+ for a Freightliner a year ago and today it’s dropping to around $45,000. No one can absorb that loss. If rate’s don’t pick up soon there’s going to be repo’s all over the nation. Banks and finance companies all over will be selling these trucks for nothing if this freight trend doesn’t move upward….

Imagine working for a whole year then realizing you really didn't earn anything because you lost it all to depreciation on your overpriced truck.
Now the question currently is it worth it to work for these cheap rates just to pay the truck note and maybe have enough left over for a roller dog.bzinger, Rideandrepair and bamanation Thank this. -
