"The average retail selling prices for a used Class 8 truck was $51,217 in April, up 8 percent month over month and 16 percent year over year," said Steve Tam, vice president-commercial vehicle sector with ACT. "The appreciation in prices supports our expectations for the longer term," he added. "We believe year-over-year pricing growth will continue, but at a slower pace, as more trade-ins become available."
