TruckPaper Commercial Truck Scraper

Scrape TruckPaper commercial truck listings from any search or listing URL, up to a million per run. Every truck comes with its price, year, make, model, mileage, and seller details. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

TruckPaper is the largest online marketplace for commercial trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment, but browsing thousands of listings by hand is slow. This Actor reads the public listing pages directly, filtered by category or manufacturer, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

Who uses itWhat they scrape TruckPaper for
Used truck dealersMonitor competitor pricing and inventory for sleeper trucks and day cabs
Fleet managersBuild a shortlist of available trucks matching their specs before contacting sellers
Market researchersTrack supply and price trends for dump trucks, box trucks, and other categories
ExportersFind trucks for international buyers and compare condition and mileage across listings

What it does

This Actor collects TruckPaper truck listings by search URL or category, and returns each one as a flat row.

  • ๐Ÿ” Search URL or category: paste any TruckPaper search URL, or pick a category like Sleeper Trucks or Dump Trucks.
  • ๐Ÿท๏ธ Manufacturer filter: narrow results to Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo, International, and more.
  • ๐Ÿ“Š Flat row output: each listing becomes one row with price, year, make, model, mileage, and seller info.
  • โš™๏ธ Max items control: set a hard cap from 1 to 1,000,000 listings per run.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

๐ŸŒ Source trucks for export.

An exporter scrapes Dump Trucks and Box Trucks listings, filters by manufacturer, and sends the CSV to overseas buyers who need specific specs.

๐Ÿ“Š Analyze market supply.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your Start URL is a valid TruckPaper search or listing page. If you used a category, make sure it is selected and the manufacturer filter is not too narrow.

The run stops before reaching Max items.

The Actor stops when there are no more listings matching your filters. Try removing the manufacturer filter or broadening the category.

Some listings are missing fields.

TruckPaper listings do not always show every field. If a seller omits mileage or price, that field will be empty in the output.

I get an error about the URL.

Make sure the URL starts with https://www.truckpaper.com/ and points to a search or listing page, not the homepage.

The run is slow.

Large searches take time because the Actor reads each listing page. Reduce Max items or narrow your filters to speed it up.
