Why Buying a Truck on Cherry Trader Is the Right Move for You
Buying a new truck has never been faster and easier. On Cherry Trader, you can explore thousands of new and used trucks and heavy equipment listed for sale, rent, lease, or auction.
Easy search and filtering options: Easily find any truck you want. Simply enter the model, manufacturer, or other specification in the search bar, or use our intuitive filtering options to narrow your search quickly.
Favorite listings and comparison tool: If you found a listing you like, but still need time to decide, mark it as ‘favorite’ and revisit it anytime. Once you have saved multiple listings, you can select your top picks and use the comparison tool. With Cherry Trader’s comparison tool, you can easily compare two or more listings with all their specifications and features in one place, side-by-side. (Note: You can use the comparison tool regardless of whether the listing is saved to favorites.)
Price change alerts, price evaluation, and direct negotiation:
Receive instant notifications and updates whenever a listing from your favorites has been updated. If the listing’s price drops, you’ll receive an alert, allowing you to act quickly and stay ahead of other buyers.
You can send direct messages to the seller by clicking the ‘’Send message to seller’’ button on the individual listing page.
On the Cherry Trader platform, you can use the Cherry Market Rate tool to estimate the listing’s real value. The Cherry Market Rate tool helps you avoid overpriced deals and negotiate a better price with the seller.

List & Sell Equipment on Cherry Trader: Sell Fast to Qualified Buyers
Cherry Trader simplifies the process of selling trucks and heavy equipment by providing access to user-friendly tools and solutions designed to help you set competitive prices and manage your inventory effectively.
Cherry Market Rate: If you’re unsure what price to set, we can help! By simply entering the VIN, category, make, and optionally, model, year, engine make, and mileage, you can instantly receive a price recommendation calculated based on data from over 140,000 verified deals. In addition to price evaluation, track how mileage affects prices with a detailed ‘Item’s Depreciation Overview' graph.
My Inventory: Set up your online garage to keep and manage all your trucks and inventory in one place. Cherry Trader lets you monitor the value changes of your inventory so you can list it at the right time.
List your truck, trailer, or related parts in minutes with just a few clicks. Select one of the four available options to add your truck listing on Cherry Trader:
Create a listing manually: Add general information (VIN, mileage, transmission type, etc.), a listing description, the selling type (for sale, lease, or rent), and the price. If you decide not to showcase the price, choose the ‘Ask for price’ option. Add as many pictures of your equipment as you like with just a few quick clicks. Once you hit ‘Publish,’ the listing will be reviewed by the Cherry Trader team to ensure the listing meets necessary standards. You’ll receive a confirmation email once your listing is approved and published.
Inside tip: Upload more than five pictures - listings with more pictures tend to attract more interested buyers.
Create a listing from your inventory: You can publish any truck or piece of equipment from your inventory to the public listing catalog so buyers can view, save, and interact with it.
Inside tip: Use your Inventory to monitor the value changes of your equipment so you can sell when the time is right. You can select multiple trucks and equipment from your inventory to list for sale, rent, or lease.
Import listing from a file: Prepare a CSV file with all the listing details (e.g., make, model, year, price, mileage, etc.). Include data for one or multiple trucks and equipment in a single CSV file. Once you’re ready, upload the file and label every column using the options from the drop-down menus. When you’re finished, import the listings to drafts and continue by adding pictures and other information before publishing the listings.
Inside tip: We recommend using the ‘import listing from a file’ option to add two or more units simultaneously.
Create using AI:This listing option will soon be available. Please stay tuned!
If you’re only starting in the trucking industry or need a flexible, cost-effective option, renting or leasing trucks is right for you. On the other hand, if you have trucks or heavy equipment you don’t want to sell but would like to use to generate more income, listing them for rent or lease is a great way to do it.
Whether renting or leasing equipment, remember to pay on time, follow DOT/FMCSA rules, and stick to agreed terms. If you're listing for rent or lease, remember to deliver safe, compliant equipment and outline all responsibilities clearly.
