SoCal Work Trucks

Sell or replace your fleet

Whether it is one truck you have outgrown or a dozen coming to the end of their life, tell us what you are running and what you want to do with it.

How it works

  1. 1

    Tell us what you have

    Year, make, model, mileage and condition for each vehicle. VINs if you have them to hand, because they resolve the exact build and upfit far more accurately than a description does.

  2. 2

    We work out what it is worth

    A commercial vehicle is valued differently from a car. The body matters as much as the chassis: a Scelzi or Knapheide service body in good order carries real value, and an unbranded one-off build carries much less.

  3. 3

    You choose how to sell

    Outright sale to a dealer, trade against replacement vehicles, or a listing on this marketplace. Which is best depends on the vehicle and on how quickly you need it gone — we will tell you honestly which we think applies.

What actually moves the number

Commercial vehicles are not valued like cars, and the things owners expect to matter often are not the things that do. These are the factors that genuinely change what a work truck is worth in this market.

The body, more than the chassis
On a service truck or dump, the body is frequently the larger share of the value. A body from a recognised builder with parts still available sells readily. A one-off from a company that has since closed is hard to value and slow to move, whatever the truck underneath it is worth.
Documented maintenance
This matters more on commercial vehicles than on cars, and more on diesels than anything else. A buyer paying for a Cummins or Duramax wants evidence it was looked after, and the absence of records is priced in against you.
Honest hours on ancillary equipment
Refrigeration units, cranes and liftgates accumulate wear independently of the odometer. A truck with modest mileage and a tired reefer is not a low-hour vehicle, and buyers who know the market will ask.
Whether it was run at its rating
A truck operated permanently at its weight limit shows it — in the stance, in uneven rear tyre wear, in brake and suspension condition. This is assessable, and it affects value.
Timing against your replacement
Selling before a replacement arrives leaves you without a vehicle; selling after means carrying two. Upfit lead times of several months make this worth planning deliberately rather than discovering.
One vehicle or several
A group of similar vehicles in similar condition is worth approaching differently from a single truck. If you are cycling several out at once, say so — it changes who the right buyer is.

Cycling out several vehicles at once

If you are replacing a group of vehicles rather than one, send the list in whatever form you already keep it — a spreadsheet, an export from your fleet system, or just VINs in an email. We would rather work from your existing record than have you retype it into a form.

Mention it in the message below and we will reply with somewhere to send the file.

Thinking about the replacement too

Most businesses selling a work vehicle are buying another one, and the two decisions are easier taken together. The lead time on a new chassis with a body fitted routinely runs to several months, so the sequencing matters more than people expect.
