"We continue to see unprecedented demand for equipment and trucks in today's market, driving prices well beyond expectations — especially for transportation equipment," said Neal Black, Regional Sales Manager, Ritchie Bros. "Last week in Fort Worth we sold a 2019 Peterbilt 389 6x4 day cab for $210,000, a 2019 Western Star 4900FA tri-axle sleeper for $205,000, and a 2015 Peterbilt 388 day cab for $155,000."
Approximately 91 percent of the equipment in the online Fort Worth auction was purchased by U.S. buyers, including 38 percent purchased by Texans. The remaining 9 percent was purchased by international buyers from as far away as Australia, Egypt, and Guyana. The Fort Worth auction attracted approximately 39 percent more PriorityBids than the same event last year.
