Fair Market Value (FMV) slipped again in August to continue the slight downward trend over the past year, while Forced Liquidation Value (FLV) posted another small increase, according to the latest Price Digests Commercial Truck Report. 

In other market highlights, the report notes:

  • Average age on the resale channel increased month over month, but at a slower rate than previously while the auction channel average age remained relatively the same.
  • Average usage on the auction channel declined, continuing the decline that has occurred all year, while the resale channel slowed with a smaller increase in average usage.
