    Well again I was ask to help small carrier to find a truck and trailer to haul frac sand,,

    Well there are no good used trailers,,He found a decent used tractor,,new trailer were priced from about $40K to over $60K, but it will be 45 to 60 days to get one,,Ok factories are backed up,,but to get a Gardner Denver Blower,,no one has one in stock unless you want to pay two or three thousand extra,,

    I get paid as a consultant but no quick way to get the trailer or blower right away

    If your carrier wants to travel a bit and do some work to a trailer I've got an older aluminum Fruehauf that I would sell fairly cheap. It needs a suspension put under it and is a bit rusty but the barrel is in really good shape. I'm located in SW Wyoming. As far as blowers go they just aren't available I've had my two spares at the shop to be rebuilt since August and I just got one back.

    We use D&w diesel to rebuild our blowers. Pretty quick turnaround. They also sell new and reman. Dwdiesel.com located in pa,nj, and NY area.
