    I’m going to be in the need of a couple extra trailers soon and thought I may just lease them. I want to make sure a contract really develops before I dump a bunch of capital for the volume.

    What kind of pricing are you guys getting on dry vans and reefers, if you don’t mind me asking.

    Are you looking for brand new 53 x 102 vans or reefers, or used trailers. I have heard the best rate was a flat 300 a month for a used trailer. Also hear .05 a mile maintenance included for late model trailers.

    Xtra Lease
    Sell or lease
    Good prices on used vans in good condition.

    What’s your location?

    someone up in Maine was offering $900 a month operating lease I believe on brand new Great Danes with a TK, a van will obviously be cheaper

    I have a 2011 utility reefer trailer for my one truck but honestly it will be the only used reefer I buy, it’s in decent shape for its age but the trailer is what takes the majority of the abuse and I really think I’m just going to buy/lease new from now on so it’s one less thing to worry about

    New or used. The customer is just asking that they be less than 10 years old. Can be either a reefer or van. I figured a reefer may give a little more flexibility for back hauls, but would probably just try a couple vans first.

    Our yard is in St Louis, but I’d go anywhere for the right price.

    Any idea what their lease cost is? I’ve tried to get a quote from Metro trailer, but have yet to get a call back.
