Start considering your options today if you’re planning to purchase a bobtail for fall. There may be a lot of unknowns in the world today, but steel prices and chassis lead times for new bobtail orders isn’t one of them.  

Steel Prices Increase

Steel prices have been trending upward for some time, but since early December, prices have gone up roughly thirty percent. However, don’t expect pricing pressure to stop in this current environment.  Demand among the steel-consuming industries is surprisingly robust and inventories are low due to reduced plant capacity from the coronavirus and the steel tariffs which continue to discourage imports.

Long Lead Times

Chassis lead times for Freightliner, Kenworth, International and Peterbilt are out between 16 and 30 weeks, depending on the manufacturer. Available build slots for current bobtails are February 2022 and could be longer depending on the chassis you decide to go with.

Looking for more information or to get started with your bobtail order?  Contact CHS Energy Equipment at 800-852-8186, option #1.
