    Got the farm stuff off this morning and now I got this load of ####! This is the last time I haul out of here. Argument every time about how they load me. Never again. Headed to Hudson, WI. C7D9224F-7BBD-4303-8BA8-0465AFF5179A.jpeg

    A question for the forum since I have some very limited flatbed experience. Found a 2003 Fontaine infinity 53x102 aluminum composite for sale. It’s been sitting up for several years, but it might can be had for a good price. Tires are down, some surface rust although not bad, brakes are 50%, looks like it still has a bow. Rub rails are in tact. Wood floor looks dried out.

    What specific areas would you be concerned with if you bought it? It’s an ex western express trailer, if that doesn’t scare you right off the bat. Fontaine pretty decent?

    That a Jeep under the trailer? Looks like the spare.

    Don't know much about the Fontaine...but replacing that wood is quite a job! We did about 5 decks at my last company...no fun!

    Thanks. For you and anyone else who knows, do they have issues with welds or cracks anywhere? It’s sitting in some grass on a hill, so it’s not the easiest to crawl under right now.
