    Hey guys, new to the forum, but have been trucking for 5 years. Here it goes...I work for an ultra luxury and exotic dealership in central Florida, and we are needing to replace our single car enclosed trailer in the worst way. The floor is rotting out and the frame is twisting, among other things. We are looking to replace it, but we also don't want to spend a ton of money. Does anyone know anybody selling a nice enclosed trailer that will be capable of hauling 6,000 lb Phantoms, etc?

    Good luck! It's been a year or two, but last I looked even used ones were bringing top dollar. Sales are off from then, maybe you'll have some luck.

    We used to have a really nice one until a former driver got it smashed by a train when he was carrying a McLaren inside...

    Oh yes lol that made national news! As well as jalopnik and several forums. Is the driver still employed there?

    Gladly, no. He never took responsibility for it. It was gross negligence on his part.

    I'm surprised your dealership still has their own equipment after that, I would have thought that they decided that what companies charge to pickup and deliver was a cheap price to pay!
