DOT Cancels In-Person Equipment Auction

(Des Moines, IA) — The Iowa DOT has canceled its fall in-person equipment and vehicle auction. Spokesman David Bollenbaugh says they just don’t have enough vehicles available and think they’re “still trying to play catch up from COVID.” He says they continue maintaining the trucks they have until they can get a replacement and when they do get new trucks — it’s not very many. The DOT will continue selling vehicles they are rotating out online. Bollenbaugh says they’ll have several smaller trucks, a passenger van and some larger trucks for sale online — and the mileage will be more than what you would normally see in a sale.
