Commercial & Heavy Vehicle Valuation

Commercial Truck Appraisal Services Across Canada

Commercial trucks require more than passenger-vehicle pricing data. IA Reports evaluates the chassis, powertrain, axle configuration, body, installed equipment, kilometres or hours, maintenance history, operating use and relevant truck market.

What matters: Two trucks with the same year and manufacturer can have substantially different value because of configuration, vocational body, engine, transmission, axle ratings, maintenance and operating history.

Truck categories

Assignments are scoped according to the unit and intended use.

  • Highway tractors and day cabs
  • Straight trucks and cube vans
  • Dump, tow and recovery trucks
  • Refrigerated and delivery vehicles
  • Service, utility and vocational trucks
  • Specialized commercial units and trailers where within scope

Vehicle and equipment verification

The appraisal identifies the base truck and the installed body or equipment separately where appropriate.

  • VIN, chassis and model
  • Engine, transmission and drivetrain
  • Axle configuration and ratings
  • Odometer, engine hours and idle hours
  • Body manufacturer and equipment
  • Maintenance, rebuild and replacement history

Some assignments can be completed through detailed photographs, specifications, maintenance records and market evidence. Inspection may be required for condition-sensitive or specialized units.

Do you appraise installed equipment?

Installed bodies and equipment can be considered when they are within the agreed scope and sufficient documentation is available.

Can you appraise an entire fleet?

Yes, subject to unit count, data quality, timing and whether a desktop or inspected scope is appropriate.
