    If the roll-up doors work okay and the roofs don't leak, that is an outstanding deal.

    Ritchie Bros near me at S Vienna Ohio has been knocking this stuff out at a decent clip. used an adjacent farm field for overflow trailers. thats now all on the main lot. very few tractors left. estimate maybe a third of the trailers they started with? fully half their lot was trailers. and more for the tractors.... now I'd estimate a third of that half left of yellow trailers......
     
    gentleroger Thanks this.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of Yellow’s equipment is in Ohio at auction yards still waiting to be sold.

    When Trashcan went out of business, I saw their trailers still up for sale some 2+ years later. To be fair, those TC trailers did look like cr@p...

    Same thing when CornFlakes went out, as well as St. Johnsbury....

    Yellow yard up in whitby ontario Canada has a lot of old yellow and reimer tractors and lots of trailers still sitting in their yard . It was a weird feeling knowing there closed but seeing all the equipment parked the way it was looked like they were still operating
