Tiger Group auctions trucks

Tiger Group opened a timed online auction on April 14 for more than 100 late-model trucks and trailers spread across 22 states. (abfjournal.com) The sale runs through April 21 at 10 a.m. Central time, according to Tiger Commercial & Industrial’s listing. The inventory includes tractors from Freightliner, Peterbilt and Volvo, plus dry vans from Great Dane and Hyundai and 53-foot Fontaine flatbeds. (soldtiger.com) Tiger said consignors are still adding lots, and named Montgomery Transport, PFA Systems, Inc. and a national trucking academy among the sellers. The equipment is located in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. (prnewswire.com) This is the latest disposal of trucking assets after a long freight downturn that squeezed carriers with weak demand and high costs. ACT Research said in January 2026 that the industry exited 2025 after “one of the longest, most difficult downcycles in recent history,” with margin pressure tied to soft freight, elevated operating costs and tariff uncertainty. (actresearch.net) Montgomery Transport is one reason this auction stands out. The Birmingham, Alabama, flatbed carrier shut down effective October 9, 2025, and Heavy Duty Trucking reported about 450 drivers were affected as the company moved toward Chapter 7 liquidation. (truckinginfo.com) Tiger has already been selling former Montgomery Transport equipment this year. In February, the company announced the first in a series of liquidation sales tied to Montgomery Transport’s assets in Alabama, Indiana and Mississippi. (tigergroup.com) Trade outlets framed the new sale as a chance for buyers to pick up relatively recent equipment without ordering new trucks. Overdrive quoted Tiger executive Chad Farrell saying freight recession pressures, driver shortages and diesel prices were pushing operators to be “smart about their capital spends.” (overdriveonline.com) For carriers, dealers and fleet buyers, the next date is April 21, when bidding closes on a pool of equipment that now reflects both routine fleet turnover and outright liquidation.
