COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS
Summary
Increased numbers of newer trucks continue to enter the retail and wholesale channels,
providing buyers with better access to the low-mileage iron they demand. Severe
weather likely kept many buyers away from the auctions in January, resulting in
anomalous results in medium duty and sleeper segments. Used truck pricing could be
impacted by upcoming rounds of fuel economy mandates, as a special study explores.
Continued volatility in sales volume is expected to subside in the second quarter as
winter draws to a close.
Sleeper Tractors – Retail
January’s universal average set yet another record, coming in at $56,488. This is the
highest figure we’ve recorded since our current data analysis processes were
introduced in mid-2007. Low mileage was a factor - at
520,764 - but this figure was less than 1% lower than
other recent low months. Age was identical to
December, at 77 months.
Month-over-month, January was $2292 (or 4.1%)
higher on price and 7284 (or 1.4%) lower on mileage.
Year-over-year, January 2014 was $7770 (or 13.8%)
higher than January 2013 on price, and 21,840 (or
4.0%) lower on mileage. See the “Average Retail Price
and Mileage” graph for detail.

Commercial Truck Guidelines | March 2014
[ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ]
The bulk of the retail sleeper market is represented by model years 2007-2011. 2007’s
remain popular as the last of the pre-DPF trucks, and units with attractive mileage will
continue to hold their value for as long as they remain available. The first of the DPF
trucks - 2008’s – have depreciated the most of recent model years, but even their
roughly $415 or 1%/month depreciation is low by historical standards. 2009’s have seen
essentially no depreciation over the past year. 2010’s – the first trucks to feature SCR hit a low point in May of 2013, then started to appreciate, and are currently selling for
the same prices they were last summer. 2011’s are the major factor in the retail market
at present, outselling other model years for the second month in a row. With average
mileage for 2011’s just below 400,000, demand remains strong, and supply is still
inadequate despite the increased volume. As for the
newest trucks, 2012’s continue to enter the market in
greater numbers, and are selling for more than their
2011 counterparts did this time last year. 2013’s are

demand will remain strong enough to absorb this
supply with no impact to pricing. The bottom line is
dealers can be confident in the value of their late-model inventory in the upcoming
months.
Sleeper Tractors – Wholesale
Auctions appear to have been impacted by January’s severe weather, with buyers
snapping up mainly the most desirable iron and leaving the rest in the cold. Trucks sold
through wholesale channels in January were much younger and lower-mileage than in
earlier months.
Specifically, the average sleeper tractor sold in January was 72 months old, had 623,844
miles, and brought $38,549. This average truck was a notable 11 months younger than

January was the first month since February 2012 in
which less than half of trucks sold had over 600,000

Model vs. Model Competitive Comparison
The January time period is traditionally when we

$90,000
four-year-old trucks. As such, we now consider model

is how much more money four-year-old trucks are

In terms of competitive positioning, there was

essentially no change – all models brought solid

pricing in January. The T2000 will no longer be

included in future updates because the 2010 model

to verify model year, we believe they were actually
2010’s. Next month, we will include the T700.
Medium Duty—Class 3-4 Cabovers
As mentioned, severe weather likely put a damper on auction activity in January. This
factor manifested itself in an unusually low number of Class 3-4 cabovers reported sold.
The few that sold had much higher than average mileage, resulting in lower average
pricing. We consider this month an outlier, and will refrain from assigning much
meaning to its results.
Nonetheless, here are the stats for January: Average wholesale price came in at $8450,

lighter GVW conventionals sold in normal numbers in
January. Class 4’s are more heavily exposed to the consumer/end-user market than their
heavier GVW counterparts, so it is possible that the superior performance of this
segment indicates stronger demand. Supporting this observation was a nice month-over
-month uptick in pricing.
Average Wholesale Price and Mileage: 4-7 Year-Old Class 4 Conventionals
Specifically, the average wholesale selling price of a 4-

confident in their job or business outlook are largely
shopping for new trucks. At the same time, used trucks with mileage in the low-6 figures
still have plenty of remaining life, and are at an attractive price point. It is likely that
future performance of this segment will reflect the slow but steady growth of the
economy overall.
Medium Duty—Class 6 Conventionals
Like cabovers, heavier-GVW conventionals saw a steep decline in volume in January.

[ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ]
Unlike cabovers, trucks that did sell had lower-than-average mileage. This performance
is logical, as only the most desirable trucks would be expected to sell in a low-volume
month.
As with cabovers, we consider January’s result an

anomaly, so we do not read too much into the

results. With this in mind, the average 4-6 year-old
Class 6 conventional sold wholesale in January
brought $23,473, which is $5602 (or 23.9%) higher
than December, and $8591 (36.6%) higher than
January 2013. Mileage, at 123,022, was 39,015 (or

detail.
Again, January’s results were not indicative of a
shifting market. Previous months suggest mildly higher demand for trucks with mileage
in the low to mid 100s, and we will stick with that observation for now.
Sales Volume
Unusual month-over-month swings in volume of

factors. However, severe weather is every bit the
factor it has been in recent months, and will continue to be into the 2nd quarter. As such,
we expect monthly swings in volume to continue into spring.

By now you’re well aware of President Obama’s
announcement that he will direct the EPA and DOT to set the next (post-2018) round of
medium and heavy truck fuel economy and emissions standards. The first round of
standards was finalized in September 2011, and trucks meeting those standards are just
now going into production. This study examines the impact of 2002-2014 standards on
selling price, and provides a look at how the used truck market could perform post 2014.
If you regularly read Guidelines or subscribe to our used truck values, you know that
used Class 8 pricing is currently at historically-high levels. A major reason for this market
dynamic is the high price of new trucks. In 2002, truck buyers learned the phrase,
“emissions escalator.” An emissions escalator is simply a surcharge buyers pay for
engines that meet current standards. According to a recent NADA/ATD Report (available
free at http://www.nadafrontpage.com), the cumulative effect of the 2004-2010
emissions mandates on the price of a new truck was over $20,000. In other words, a
new truck sold in 2012 cost over $20,000 more than it did before the requirements were
in place (in real dollars). And pricing has increased further since the report was
published.
These price increases have pushed many buyers to late-model, low-mileage used trucks
as a substitute for new. At roughly $56,000, the average sleeper tractor with mileage in
the low-500,000s is about one-third the MSRP of a new truck. Granted, most buyers pay
substantially less than MSRP. But even at half the price of new, the difference is
compelling.
On the supply side, thanks to the Great Recession and the 2007 pre-buy, a historically

Commercial Truck Guidelines | March 2014
[ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ]
low number of new trucks were built for model years 2008-2011. This dynamic resulted
in a tight supply of iron entering the secondary market as trade-ins. With buyers looking
for late-model trucks to substitute for expensive new iron, pricing for low- to averagemileage trucks surpassed pre-recession levels in mid-2011, and has continued
accelerating through the present time. The current average retail price of roughly
$56,000 is 14% higher than the pre-recession peak in mid-2008. And this average truck
now has mileage in the low-500,000s, as opposed to the mid-400,000s of 2008. So
buyers are paying more for trucks with higher mileage.
Marketplace acceptance of new technologies will determine whether these conditions
continue. Historically, each new generation of emissions control technology has been
met with trepidation. The new truck pre-buy in 2002 advance of the introduction of
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) technology was a major market development, as was
the pre-buy of 2006 in advance of the introduction of Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). On
the other hand, pre-buy activity was mild to nonexistent in advance of the most recent
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, due mainly to sluggish market
conditions, increased comfort level with this technology, and promised fuel mileage
improvements.
Pre-buys didn’t just artificially and temporarily increase demand for new trucks – they
also increased demand for late-model used trucks to use as a “bridge” until each new
technology had been on the market long enough to work out any bugs. Fortunately,
reliability concerns seem to have been largely alleviated with the SCR generation. Also,
thanks to much better advance notice of upcoming standards, truckmakers will have
more time to develop and test new technologies. These factors, combined with the
increased fuel economy of each upcoming step, suggest a pre-buy on the level of 2002
or 2006 is unlikely going forward.
On the supply side, thanks to the more typical build rate of 2012-2014 model year trucks
– along with a return to 3-5 year trade cycles - we expect a moderately increased
number of late-model trucks entering the secondary market in upcoming years.
However, this increased supply should be balanced by the likely ongoing increases in
new truck pricing, which will keep many buyers in the used market. For fleets and
successful operators who can afford it, a new truck will provide real fuel economy

benefits. For other buyers, late-model used trucks will remain a popular substitute,
helping to absorb any increased supply.
Conclusion
Expect continued volatility in volume along with anomalous results in pricing for the
remainder of the winter, due mainly to extreme weather conditions keeping buyers
home. The exception will be for sleeper tractors with under 600,000 miles, which will
remain a sure bet regardless of external factors. See the Economic Trends section of this
document for more detailed analysis of these factors.

[ ECONOMIC TRENDS continued ]
central bank has set a 6.5% target for the jobless number before it will consider raising
rates, it likely will have to reconsider and could do so as soon as its March meeting.
The declining rate has been a mix of middling job creation and labor force participation
that has languished around 35-year lows. At the same time, long-term unemployment
remains a major structural impediment, making the Fed's final decision on interest rates
likely more reliant on an arbitrary qualitative impression of economic health. The
number of people without jobs for 27 weeks or longer grew 203,000 to 3.8 million—a
group that now represents fully 37% of the unemployed.
Biggest job gains in February came from professional and business services, which added
79,000 positions. Temporary help grew by 24,000 while wholesale trade gained 15,000
jobs and bars and restaurants contributed 21,000 and construction also added 15,000.
Retail lost 4,000 jobs for the month

Total housing inventory at the end of January rose 2.2% to 1.90 million existing homes
available for sale, which represents a 4.9-month supply at the current sales pace, up
from 4.6 months in December. Unsold inventory is 7.3% above a year ago, when there
was a 4.4-month supply. A supply of 6 to 6.5 months represents a rough balance
between buyers and sellers.

quarter of 2014 is likely in any case, with growth accelerating as the year unwinds.
What’s more, there’s a decent chance of an upside surprise. Consumer spending and
confidence is still way below what would be considered normal levels by the standards
of past economic expansions. As job growth returns and consumers feel more secure, a
virtuous cycle of spending begetting more consumer income begetting more spending
could be initiated. If this occurs, quarterly growth is likely to exceed an annualized pace
of 3%. If that doesn’t pan out in 2014, it is very likely to happen before the end of 2015.
