So many great takeaways here, but one that got me thinking was this: "Part of the reason capacity is leaving ­slowly has to do with banks that own the liens on equipment and their reluctance to repossess that equipment... ...If used Class 8 truck prices go up, ATA’s Bur said she expects to see a significant number of exits due to bank repossessions." Given that the main mechanism for used truck prices to go up would be for the freight market to start to turn around, this seems like it could be counter-productive for those same banks to take back an underperforming asset for presumably still a loss instead of letting the trucker continue to work and start paying it down? But what do I know, I only got a B+ in "Financial & Managerial Accounting" Well, just in case, you are one of those trucking or banking folks trying to get the best recovery from your asset liquidation, give us a call at Purple Wave Auction and we'll help you find the best buyer community possible with our Straight, Simple, Sold process. #trucking #logistics #purplewave #usedtrucks
