How it works
Vocation-adjusted value, not a guide-book guess.
A logging tandem and an aggregate hauler shouldn't be worth the same on paper — and they aren't on the market either. The difference between a generic guide-book number and a real fair market value is what those trucks actually sell for across North America, adjusted for how they're used, spec'd, and cared for.
