An entire fleet of late-model trucks is to be auctioned off after the collapse of another trucking company. Transtar Linehaul, which provided services to clients including Star Track Express and Couriers Please, was placed into administration in July.
In an attempt to recoup some of the debt owed to creditors, administrators HM Advisory plan to sell the company’s vehicles, including 38 late-model prime movers and 56 curtain-side trailers, from manufacturers such as Vawdrey, Scania, Volvo and Krueger. The fleet, expected to raise $6 million, will be sold through an online auction by Pickles next week, from Oct. 20 to 23, 2025.
