This

new service provides the transportation community with an easy-to-use tool to buy and sell new and used industry equipment and allows transportation.com members to post and set a selling price for equipment directly on the site.

Transportation.com's Auctions is averaging 500 unique visitors a day, and has sold more than 600 items, including trucks, trailers, forklifts and other transportation equipment.

"They have provided us with an excellent opportunity to open up another sales channel in this oversaturated market."
