DOT, municipal, and federal fleet turn-ins plus dealer-trade-in pallets surface F-150s, light trucks, utility bodies, cargo vans, and highway tractors on GovDeals and GovPlanet continuously. Lothound nets each lot’s buyer’s premium, freight, and refurb estimate against a comparable-sales band and alerts you when a unit clears your margin threshold.
Vehicle surplus is the fourth vertical Lothound launched — these are the four categories our algorithm currently scores. Each lot gets its own landed-cost math against trailing 60-day comparable sales.
DOT, county, and municipal pickups surface with fragmented maintenance-log chains — the lot PDF lists the chassis but the service record is siloed across three agencies. Lothound flags the title-bridge risk per unit and nets the refurb estimate against a 60-day F-150 4×4 / utility-body comparable-sales band.
Sprinter/Transit/ProMaster cargo and ADA passenger vans rotate out of transit authorities and school districts in pallet lots. Body-attached shelving, partition kits, and lift-gate ratings are rated separately from the chassis — Lothound scores both line items and the buyer’s premium against rear-wheel cargo comparable sales.
DOT snow-plow fleets, refuse-route day cabs, and short-haul regional tractors from Peterbilt, Freightliner, and Volvo cycle out on multi-unit rotation. Lothound models DEF/SCR service intervals, after-treatment DPF recert exposure, and the bridge-document gap between seller agencies before the auction closes.
Flatbed, dump, bucket, and rear-loader refuse chassis sell as multi-body pallet lots where the body is rated separately from the cab-chassis VIN. Lothound runs the pallet math against the body-count, hoist/pump service life, and PTO rebuild exposure so you don’t bid across a mismatched lot.
Scored in real time against trailing comparable sales. Landed cost already includes buyer’s premium, freight, and refurb estimate.
