    Thinking of Selling Your Semi Truck? What You Need To Know

    The market still isn't quite sure what it's going to do, and it seems like every day in 2023 has been a bit different. However, through this uncertainty we know there are times when you still may need to sell your used truck, and we're happy to help you out with that. In this episode of the TruckVin.com podcast, CEO Zach Ellis breaks down the process of selling your used semi truck, and what you can expect should you decide you're ready to move forward. Here's an inside look into our process: Step 1: Go to https://www.truckvin.com/get-a-free-quote/ and fill out the information. Based on what you provide, we'll send over an offer. Step 2: Once you accept the offer, we'll send over a Docusign, and then you'll schedule the inspection for your vehicle. Step 3: Once the inspection is complete (and we never do the inspection ourselves, we always use a third party), we'll get the inspection results within about 24 to 48 hours. Step 4: A buy rep from our team will review for any issues and verify if anything needs to be fixed. Step 5: We'll just then confirm the wiring instructions, and it's that easy. Zach also talks about the current market, and his predictions for the second half of 2023. Plus he discusses why selling might be the best current option for you, even if you may not get top dollar for your truck.

    Trucking Industry Trends: What You Need to Know

    On this episode of Truckvin.com Podcast, Zach Ellis is back discussing what's happening in the transportation and trucking industry, and what's most important for those to know who are trying to thrive during uncertain times. Zach dives into the increase in the use of electric vehicles (EVs) in the trucking space and informs listeners that six major manufacturers are already offering heavy-duty EVs.  He also provides insights into JD Power's report on the commercial vehicle market. The report states that used truck sales increased in March 2023 due to the difficulty in getting new trucks last year, which drove up new truck prices. Retail trucks from dealerships sold for an average of $76,102 in March 2023, with around 455,000 miles. Finally, Zach mentions that there is a vast inventory of used sleeper trucks with higher-than-normal mileage, making it an "800-pound gorilla" in the used truck market.

    What Happened During Q1 and How To Prepare for Q2 In the Trucking Industry

    What goes up, must come down. In 2022 we saw historically high rates for used trucks, fee rates, etc, many companies in the transportation industry made a lot of money. However, as we close out the first quarter of 2023, we're seeing a steep decline in numbers throughout the industry, including freight rates with no end in near sight. In today's episode of the TruckVin.com Podcast, CEO Zach Ellis breaks down some of the current data in the industry, and the average numbers as the first quarter of the year closes out. He talks about some of the big moves made in the industry, including Knight Swift's buyout of U.S. Express. He talks about how the number used semi trucks for sale has nearly doubled in the last six months, and what you need to do to stay alive in an industry where companies are shutting down quickly. He also talks about recent trends he is seeing in the industry with companies quickly trying to sell trucks and get bids, and why honesty and loyalty will always be a key factor.
