Truck Values
What's My Semi Truck Worth?
Understanding what your commercial truck is worth starts with knowing the factors that drive value. Here's what matters — and how to get a real number.
There's no single "book value" for a used semi truck. A truck's worth depends on a combination of its specifications, condition, and the current market. Here are the primary factors that affect what your truck is worth.
Year
Newer model years generally command stronger pricing, especially units still under factory warranty. But a well-maintained older truck can still be valuable.
Make & Model
Some makes and models hold value better than others. Aerodynamic sleepers, day cabs, and vocational models each have their own market.
Mileage
Lower mileage helps, but the condition behind the number matters just as much. A well-maintained 600,000-mile truck can be worth more than a neglected 400,000-mile truck.
Engine
Engine make, displacement, and horsepower directly affect resale demand. A Detroit DD15, Cummins X15, or PACCAR MX-13 each have different market appeal.
Transmission
Automated manuals are in high demand; manuals still have a strong following. The transmission affects who buys the truck and what they'll pay.
Day Cab / Sleeper
Sleeper size and configuration change which buyers we approach. A 72-inch high-rise sleeper serves a different market than a day cab.
Specifications
Rear axle ratio, wheelbase, suspension type, and other specs determine what the truck is built to do — and who wants it.
Condition
Cosmetic and mechanical condition, inside and out, is weighed carefully. Honest photos and disclosure lead to more accurate offers.
Maintenance History
Documented service records support a stronger offer. An in-frame overhaul with documentation adds real value.
Tires
Tread depth and remaining rubber life are part of the valuation. A truck needing all-new tires represents near-term cost.
Aftertreatment
The condition of the DPF, DOC, and SCR system is a major value driver. Recent aftertreatment service or documentation helps.
Current Market
Truck values fluctuate with freight rates, fuel prices, new truck supply, and seasonal demand. We track the market so your offer reflects today's conditions.
How to Find Out What Your Truck Is Worth
The most accurate way to find out what your truck is worth is to get a real purchase offer based on its actual specifications and condition — not a generic online estimate.
When you submit your truck, we decode your VIN to get the baseline specs, then evaluate the details that matter: mileage, condition, maintenance history, and photos. The result is a real offer, not a range or an estimate.
We don't display fabricated automated valuations. Every offer is based on your specific truck and the current market.
