Does anybody have a recommendation for a really good PJ dealer?
Im based in California Bay Area but I have 3 problems with the dealers around here.
Problem one:
Being CA the price is practically double what it is in TX or anywhere outside CA for that matter.
Problem two:
The dealers here have no clue what the actual capabilies or pros & cons of different models, if I ask a question they seem to look at the brochure for the answer and then confidently try to answer with no real knowledge.
They have no experience in larger gooseneck trailers.
Problem three:
They don't seem to have time to speck out a trailer properly and I'm afraid I'll end up with the almost perfect trailer at double the price I could have paid with an experienced dealer.
In the past I have bought semi trailers in Oklahoma, no state sales tax which makes a big difference on higher dollar trailers. Registered in with OK title but my CA address. I use a dealer in Oklahoma City and they are can do guys and get me anything I need other than a PJ, they are not a PJ dealer and due to PJ having sealers in the area they will not deal with my guy there.
The trailer I want built will be a dream hotshot trailer and will cost a pretty penny, I just want to deal with a can do dealership preferably in OK state but not too picky where so long as it's not the east coast! Midwest to west coast?
Im not looking to buy a stocker off the lot, I want a special build.
Any info on a good dealer that knows these trailers inside out would be much appreciated.
Cheers!

The manufacturer is located in... Honey Grove, Texas.. if I remember correctly. Might be a crap shoot, but maybe you can buy direct from them? Only load I've hauled for them went to Cody, Wyoming, so that's the only dealer I know of.
Foxcover Thanks this. -
PJ really doesn't have a good reputation for making hotshot trailers, I'd do more research
-
What don't you like about them or what bad reviews have you heard? -

That is a good business if you can get good return loads.
Most of our work is construction based but I try to keep a finger in a few pies as possible, you never know which one will get cold. I started a hotshot division last year, some days it's pathetic and other days it is a gold mine. Thankfully we are at a point in our business we can sit in the yard unless it's a gold day! Lol. -
Have you looked into CORN PRO trailers?
My last employer had a bumper pull 24ft that pulled like a dream, behind their 3\4 ton. Mind you we didn't haul a ton of material with it.
