    Would you be interested in a company that runs replacement trailers to your location or meet you on a route to swap out trailers for whatever reason. The kicker is it would be on call service so you wouldnt have to wait till Ryder opens at 6am we would run as soon as you call. Also it would allow you to still run your route and not have to go out of your way to get your trailer issues fixed.

    HUGE flaw with this plan. most of us are pulling LOADED trailers. are you going to swap the loads as well? it is faster for us to go to ryder/Xtra or were ever we have our trailers thru. most of the issues (most of us do a walk around) are found in the AM or PM. lights 99% of us can change out

    not to mention repair shops all over the country, so a driver really wouldn't be going out of his way.

    there isn't much to trailers that TA or petro can't fix.
