WOOSTER, Ohio – On Feb. 2, RES Auction Services held a commercial truck and trailer consignment auction with 43 lots of semis, specialty trucks, medium-duty vehicles, and a variety of enclosed and flatbed trailers. Of the lots, 31 were sold absolute.

The sale commenced with the 12 semi trucks. One of them, a 2018 Freightliner offered absolute, picked up the auction’s high bid of $24,000. The Cascadia model had 472,028 miles and featured a Detroit DD15 engine, automatic transmission, and sleeper cab.
