The Young Trailers the Young Trailers $40 Up shot the sun showering golden beams of light upon the forest. The air grew warmer, but the little band did not cease its rapid pace northward until noon. Then at a word from Ross all halted at a beautiful glade, across which ran a little brook of cold water. The horses were tethered at the edge of the forest, but were allowed to graze on the young grass which was already beginning to appear, while the men lighted a small fire of last years fallen brushwood, at the center of the glade on the bank of the brook.

The World Market for Tanker Trailers and Semi-Trailers $325 This report was created for strategic planners, international executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for trailers and semi-trailers for the transport of goods. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for trailers and semi-trailers for the transport of goods for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. I do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. |

Used Truck Trailer Market in the United States - An Overview
There are thousands of suppliers and buyers of used truck trailers who routinely buy and sell used trailers in the United Sates. American Trailer Exchange, an Atlanta based truck trailer dealer, estimates that the secondary (used) truck trailer market is approximately 400,000 units annually, equaling over $3 billion in sales. Dry freight vans, platform trailers, refrigerated vans and tank trailers constitute the majority of this equipment.
Trailers have a useful life of at least twenty years.They are typically traded several times during their useful lives as they pass from long distance service, to regional hauls, to local cartage use, and finally to storage service. A general rule of thumb is that trailers are re-marketed every five years and then used indefinitely as storage units. Average annual new trailer shipments are approximately 250,000 units. Trailers have a variety of specifications and configurations that determine their use and set segments within the buying market.
Used Truck Trailer Supply Sources: The supply side of the secondary trailer market is somewhat fragmented with no nationally organized distribution system. There are only a few used trailer suppliers with a nationwide scope. The used truck trailer market is comprised of trailer manufacturers who take trade-ins for resale; private and public carriers who usually sell excess equipment to dealers; equipment leasing companies and banks who re-market their off-lease assets through their asset management departments; a small number of firms who buy in large lots from national trucking companies and redistribute equipment through dealers; and, over 1500 equipment dealers and brokers who serve regional market areas. No single participant has over a 5% share of the market. Market fragmentation often results in inefficiencies in the market with equipment passing from the original seller to brokers, dealers and other middlemen before reaching the ultimate end user.
Types of Companies Contributing to the Used Truck Trailer Supply Chain:
1. Trailer Manufacturers: There are over 100 truck trailer manufacturers in the United States selling, on average, 250,000 new trailers annually. The top 10 manufacturers account for over 75% of total sales. Trailer manufacturers have traditionally been a large source of trailers in the secondary marketplace, because they are often requested to take used equipment in trade in order to sell new units. In the past several years, however, manufacturers have shifted from active player to reluctant participant because of their need to recapitalize manufacturing operations. This recapitalization has been accomplished by closing factory branches in favor of franchised (usually non-exclusive) dealerships; and, by declining to take certain trade packages, or offering significantly less for them. Most manufacturers have reduced used trailer department staff to one or two employees who now rely heavily on dealers to buy this equipment.
2. Trucking Companies: Trucking companies consist of both public and contract carriers. Public carriers are available to shippers on a for hire basis for shipments ranging from one piece to multiple full truck loads. Contract carriers dedicate equipment and drivers to shippers on an exclusive basis. According to Transportation Technical Services (TTS) there are over 27,000 registered trucking companies in the U.S. and Canada. Except for the largest firms, truckers do not specialize in selling their equipment. Selling excess fleet trailers is most often the responsibility of the Maintenance Manager. The Maintenance Manager's primary focus is to buy and maintain tractors and trailers. Since his performance is based on the readiness and cost of operating the fleet, equipment liquidation is not a top priority, so he relies heavily on the expertise of dealers to sell equipment. Typically, dealers are invited to place bids to purchase used trailers available for sale by trucking companies or the equipment is sold at wholesale auctions.
3. Private Carriers. Private carriers are firms that operate an in-house trucking division to haul their own freight, including manufacturers of all types, wholesalers, distributors and retailers. TTS says there are 19,200 registered private carriers in the U.S. and Canada. Equipment is sold in a similar manner as for-hire trucking companies; however, private carriers tend to be more willing to consign equipment to dealers because of limited space available to park idle trailers.
4. Banks and Equipment Leasing Companies: Bank loans and equipment lease financing are the primary means for end users (trucking companies and private carriers) to acquire new trailers. Unavoidably, banks and equipment leasing companies must occasionally regain possession when leases expire or credit defaults occur. Historically, this segment sells or re-leases trailers to the end user at the end of the initial lease term. The industry also sells to other buyers in the secondary market in order to increase residual values and overall profitability of leases. Asset Managers of general equipment portfolios with a wide variety of asset types do not usually have the people resources to specialize in a single asset type. They often look to experts to handle their equipment management and re-marketing needs, including negotiating equipment returns, and transporting, storing, repairing and re-marketing trailers. Wholesale auctions are another method used to dispose of off lease and repossessed trailers.
5. Dealers: According to the Department of Labor's Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) System, there are over 1500 trailer dealers in the United States. Most dealers are engaged in representing several lines of new trailer manufacturers, providing repair services and parts sales, and selling used trailers. Individual dealers usually market within a local or regional market area. Dealers acquire used trailers through trade-ins as well as the other four sources mentioned above. Dealers are the principal provider of used trailers to end users.
Used Trailer Buyers (End Users): Trucking companies, private carriers, manufacturers and distribution companies are the main buyers of used truck trailers. Typically used trailer buyers consist of non-branded national companies, mid to small size firms, and owner-operators. Most of these companies purchase trailers through the over 1500 truck trailer dealerships in the United States.
New trailers are often preferred by national companies and major long-haul carriers for a variety of reasons, including five-year warranties, accelerated depreciation, reduced maintenance cost, and company image. Beyond function, van trailers provide national brands with the benefit of consistent low-cost advertising through graphics on the sides and rear of trailers, so newness and image are important factors. On average, large fleet owners sell trailers after five to seven years.
Unlike an automobile, where style and image play important roles in determining value to the owner, functionality and condition are most important to many truck trailer owners. With proper maintenance, the useful life of a trailer can exceed twenty years. The price of a five-year old trailer that may have 75% of its useful life remaining is approximately half of the original price, so used trailers are often a cost-saving alternative to most companies that ship products.
