    Receive your USPAP report

Commercial trucks are compared by configuration, installed equipment is valued where the market counts it, and business-owned semis in an estate can be appraised

How is a commercial truck appraised differently from a pickup?

A commercial truck is compared with sales of similar trucks by configuration, so body type, axle setup, engine, and hours or mileage carry more weight, and the specialized market for each body style is used.

Does the appraisal account for a body, liftgate, or other installed equipment?

Yes, where the market treats it as part of the truck's value. Installed equipment is described in the report, so send photos and any invoices for it.

Can you appraise a semi truck that a business owned through an estate?

Yes. Estate reporting covers business-owned trucks like any other vehicle. Send the title or registration and any lease or lien paperwork so the report identifies what is being valued.
