“This is a unique opportunity — we don’t often see this many moving trucks and trailers coming to market at once, especially from a company as well-known as Graebel [Van Lines],” said Chris Holmberg, sales director for Ritchie Bros. “To help interested buyers across the country, we have sent the assets to various locations across the country.”
Editor’s note: Two references to Graebel Van Lines in the original story inaccurately referred to the company as simply “Graebel.” A separate business, Graebel Companies, sold Graebel Van Lines in 2015. Corrections were made to provide clarity between the two companies.
