So you want to hot-shot? (Will be updated/edited frequently)

Yes, the E4OD is crap.

 

Would this trailer work for hotshot.
It about 42 ft registered now for 26,000 lbs.

 

Built correctly its not that bad. And there relatively cheap.

 

Add to that a torque converter lock up switch is a must. And well your at active the exhaust brake. Both require a toggle switch, few feet of wire and about 20 minutes.

 

Would anyone use this trailer for doing hotshot, it's about 42 ft decent shape

 

That's really just a car trailer. With a all steel deck freight will want to slide on it, and it's not even 102" wide like most freight brokers, and shippers will want. I wouldn't use it for hot shotting myself.

 

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing about the freight sliding.

 

There's people that run steel deck trailers moving freight. I have a few times years ago. Really didn't care for it. In my opinion you're on the right track though with the low profile part.

If low profile is what you're after you can get a brand new trailer like this from www.thetrailerguys.com for right at $8,000.00 . It's pretty much all we run here.

Here's a few pics of the ones we run.

These trailers have 40' of deck space, 102" wide, have 8' ramps, a toolbox in the neck, chain racks on the neck, d rings between the fenders. And they weigh right at 7,500 lbs from the factory. If you talk to the dealer ask for Chase and tell him Gary told you to call. We send a lot of business his way and he'll treat you right.

 

Thank you for the info and I will call first thing next week.
