Feb. 26, 2013 - PRLog -- Equipment sales increased 11.985% in California from 2011 to 2012, demonstrating a rebound for the economy and a positive forecast for manufacturers and dealers selling semi-trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment.

My Little Salesman research department compared truck and equipment sales totals from each quarter between 2009 to 2012, finding a generally upward trend in purchases of new and used equipment.

Top purchasing industries include groceries & related produce, local and long distance trucking, landscaping contractors, local trucking without storage, and rental and leasing companies.
