Sleeper Tractor-Trailers Saw Record Month in August

Chris Visser
Senior Analyst and Product Manager
NADA Commercial Truck Guide

Retail sleeper tractor pricing came back with a roar in August, the highest ever seen. August makes for the fifth month in 2013 to set a new record. Sleeper tractor-trailers saw an average price of $54,090 – beating June’s previous record by $1,266 (up 2.3%).
Wholesale sleeper pricing was also up, with the strongest result in eleven months.

Construction Segment May Finally Be Showing Signs of Recovery:
Newest used trucks showing 2 months of upward movement and strong pricing.

Cabovers and Conventionals Are Still a Buyer’s Market:
Higher mileage partially explains August’s lackluster results.

A Special Study of 2010 Model Year Sleeper Tractors Shows Strong Results:
Little or no depreciation in 2013 to date, and interesting movements by select models.
