Commercial truck chassis sales for the U.S. and Mexico rose 16.8 percent in September compared with September 2016, according to a recent monthly report from the National Truck Equipment Association.
Canadian sales increased by nearly double that — 35.5 percent — said a news release announcing release of the report.
In all three countries, sales increased in all cab-type segments and classes 3 to 6 with the exception of light- and heavy-duty sales, which fell, the release said.
