    Well see there is this dude named pedro down by the docks who is willing to give you one hell of a good deal on brand new volvos. His only condition is you never saw him and dont look TOO closely at the file marks on the truck and that you gotta buy your own ECM

    Jim Hawk offered me $30k on my 15
    Van composite. Mostly because they know I am meticulous on maintenance and trl still looks new inside and out.
    But to replace it would cost north of $60k
    And a 8 month wait.

    come on. you know what i mean. where does it say new PU? new reefers are up so much that one could spend the same money and get a very good used PU. Did I need to explain that..

    Can't remember the name of the company, but it's in Dallas/Ft.Worth and sells brand new dry van trailers for $28K each. An 0/0 on here bought one, but I don't remember his screen name. The trailers are made in Mexico and imported to the USA.

    This is what hyperinflation looks like.
    It's the 1970's on steroids.
    Everything will be great until it isn't.

    And you'll really poop yourself if you price an LP bottle or a cryo trailer.

    freuhauf went out in the late 90s, there’s actually a guy local to me that bought 2 of the last dump trailers off the line and parked them without ever putting a load in them, he actually just started pulling one last year or so.
