March 2026 Market Report – Used Commercial Truck Market Softens in February Amid Elevated Auction Supply

• Retail selling prices declined notably month-over-month in February (‑6.7%), consistent with typical seasonal patterns as the first major auction cycle of the year drives elevated supply into the market, while year-over-year pricing remained essentially flat (‑0.2%), underscoring that the pullback reflects supply dynamics rather than a structural demand shift.
• Wholesale selling prices softened significantly month-over-month (‑13.0%), though they remain substantially higher year-over-year (+36.5%) and YTD versus the prior year (+32.0%), reflecting the longer-term repricing of commercial truck assets relative to historical norms.

• Auction selling prices also retreated month-over-month (‑7.9%), driven by the sharp surge in auction volume (+188.9% MoM), as fleets continued offloading excess capacity and late-2025 repossessions cycled into the secondary market — a pattern consistent with historical February seasonality.
