White commercial van in fleet parking lot

The headline number on a fleet truck sale is rarely what you actually walk away with. Auction commissions, transport, prep costs, and timing all sit between gross and net. The Edmonton fleet specialists at Northern Auto Brokers have moved fleet vehicles through every channel that exists in Canada, and this is the honest comparison of […]

Fleet Liquidation in Alberta: A Step-by-Step Playbook

Row of new compact SUVs parked in a dealership lot on a cloudy day with bare trees in the background.

Liquidating a fleet — whether it’s 8 trucks from a downsizing operation or 80 from a business closure — is its own discipline. Done well, it nets close to wholesale market value with minimal time invested. Done poorly, it stretches over months and clears at fire-sale prices. The Edmonton fleet team at Northern Auto Brokers […]

Fleet Leasing for Small Business: When It Makes Sense (and When It Doesn’t)

White cargo vans parked in a fleet lot.

Fleet leasing is a great fit for some small businesses and a terrible fit for others. The marketing makes it sound like every operation should lease — but the math says otherwise, and small businesses get it wrong both directions. The Edmonton fleet team at Northern Auto Brokers has worked with small business owners across […]

Fleet Leasing for Delivery Companies in Canada: Right-Sizing Your Vans & Trucks

Red cargo van parked with delivery fleet in background.

A delivery fleet that’s wrong-sized — too much truck, not enough cargo space, the wrong drivetrain for your routes — eats margin every month. Lease payments are fixed; fuel, maintenance, and downtime aren’t. Get the spec right at the lease and you save the difference for the next 36 months. The fleet specialists at Northern […]

Fleet Leasing Companies in Canada: How to Choose the Right Partner

Every fleet leasing company in Canada will tell you they offer competitive rates, great service, and flexible terms. Stripping the marketing away, they actually differ in ways that matter — how residuals are set, what’s included in maintenance, where vehicles get sold at lease-end, how they handle a damaged truck, how transparent they are about […]

Fleet Leasing for Cleaning Companies in Canada: A Practical Buyer’s Guide

Red cargo van leading a fleet of white delivery vans.

A cleaning company’s fleet looks simple on the surface — a few vans, maybe a truck or two — but the wrong choices cost real money over a 36-month lease. Cargo space that doesn’t fit your equipment, fuel economy that doesn’t match your routes, lease structures that punish you for normal use. The Edmonton fleet […]

Fleet Leasing in Calgary: How to Compare Options Without the Sales Pitch

Most fleet lease quotes look the same on the surface — a monthly payment, a term, a mileage cap. The differences that actually matter are buried in the structure, and most sales reps would rather you didn’t ask. The Alberta fleet team at Northern Auto Brokers has helped Calgary-based companies compare fleet leases for over […]

Exporting a Supercar From Canada to the USA: Compliance, Insurance & Logistics

Black futuristic supercar driving at high speed on a track.

A supercar export from Canada to the USA isn’t a regular vehicle export with extra insurance — it’s a different process, with compliance considerations, transport requirements, and value-protection moves that don’t apply to a Camry. The Edmonton-based export team at Northern Auto Brokers has handled supercars on the cross-border channel for over two decades, and […]

If you’re sitting on a truck in Edmonton and a U.S. buyer wants it, the question isn’t whether you can sell — it’s how the export process actually works from your driveway to their lot. The Edmonton-based export team at Northern Auto Brokers has handled cross-border truck exports for over two decades, and this is […]

EV Fleet Leasing in Canada: Total Cost of Ownership vs Gas in 2026

Fleet of cargo vans parked in a commercial lot at sunset.

Diesel hit $1.79/L in Edmonton this winter, and a single F-150 burning 18 L/100 km on routes adds up fast across a 20-truck fleet. So when fleet managers across Canada start running the numbers on EV fleet leasing, the question isn’t really about the environment — it’s about whether the math actually works once you […]
