I agree. Not only are only used trucks the only trucks being sold but it seems like only low end used trucks are selling.
I repeat my same old mantra- even in the best of times there's just not enough profit in this business. I was just at a customer's this morning. He told me that they use to make machines that sold for $1,000,000.00. The companies that they sold them to in the semi conductor industry took how long do you think to recoup their investment. Would you believe 30 whole days. Now that's profit.
