Washington County Fiscal Court just got paid for using two Mack trucks for a year.
The two trucks more than paid for themselves at the auction, even after the man hours spent transporting them there and the 7-percent seller’s fee.
According to Washington County Judge-Executive John Settles, one truck was sold for $145,000, and another brought in $148,500.
Though it’s just a preliminary figure, Settles said that was a profit of approximately $1,200 when you take out purchase and lease pricing of the trucks last year.
