IronPlanet has always sold trucks. But until a couple years ago, many would-be truck buyers and sellers had no idea. Since its launch in 1999, IronPlanet had mostly been known for surplus construction equipment sales: Cranes, tractors, oil and mining equipment. Paul Blalock, IronPlanet’s Vice President of Sales, TruckPlanet, set out to add to IronPlanet’s reputation. “We wanted to let the buying audience and the selling audience know that we are squarely in the truck business,” he says.

To broadcast that loud and clear, in early spring of 2013, he and a team of experts launched a specialized site,TruckPlanet.com, focused solely on connecting IronPlanet’s truck fleet sellers with potential buyers.
