    This may be a stupid question, but does anyone know of any companies that DON'T charge for trailer rent or lease? Or does not charge some crazy high fee?

    Smart a$^es need not answer!!

    Thanks

    Always owned my trailers,,the higher rate compared to tractor only will more than pay for a trailer,
    I have run trailers for a few to several years and the cost per mile is cheap.
    In 07 I bought a stretch RGN for $86K,, put 400,000 miles on it and when I sold it 5 years later I got $66K for it,,I figures my cost to own the trailer was less than 18cnts/mile..
    I had a reefer years ago and it cost me only 7 cnts/mile to own,,my figures include maintenance and tires too.. Back in the 80's I bought a new stainless steel chemical tanker ran it 2 years and when I sold it I got more than I paid for it new.
