The average used Class 8 truck in March brought the third-highest price ever as demand rages on and supply is very tight, ACT Research reported.

The used truck market in November generated more demand and a higher average price for a Class 8 compared with a year earlier, ACT Research reported.

The Class 8 used truck market in August reflected the trend toward improving sales as prices remained below year-earlier levels, conditions that are expected to mark the full year, ACT Research reported.

Used Class 8 vehicles in July were, on average, younger, cost less and had about the same mileage compared to a year earlier, ACT Research reported.

The year-over-year average price of a used Class 8 vehicle in June declined for the 14th consecutive month.

The price of the average Class 8 truck in January, typically the weakest sales month of the year, came close to falling below $40,000 for a fourth consecutive month, ACT Research reported.

Sales volume and prices of used Class 8 trucks were substantially down in November, according to ACT Research.

The price of the average used Class 8 vehicle in October skidded, as did estimated industry sales, with each falling 19% compared with a year earlier, ACT Research reported.

At a time of slowing freight volume and an increasingly adequate supply of power units, the average used Class 8 truck still brought a higher sales price in June than in the same month a year earlier, according to ACT Research.

The average used Class 8 brought a sharply higher sales price in April, even as inventories appear to be building, ACT Research reported. The average price was $48,532, up 15% compared with $42,100 a year earlier.
