Does anyone know anything about new Fruehauf trailers? Saw a few for sale on truck paper, can't find them now...
Thinking about a new dry van

The one in San Antonio was one of the oldest ones and at one time the only Hobbs dealer in Texas. It and many of them in Texas are owned by Peak Trailer Group now as a franchise for Wabash and its divisions.Road*Runner Thanks this. -
Bandit’s rig that Snowman drove made Hobbs famous in the late 70’s. With it’s western theme artwork on the side.
Just about every trucker movie or show used Fruehauf’s back then. Movin’ On was one of them.86scotty, Speed_Drums and Road*Runner Thank this. -
On my particular suspension they didn't recommend a lift but I did one anyway. It was a waste of money. It only raised up 4". Minimum I think you need about 8" of lift. I never used mine much. I'd recommend spec'ing a smart lift on it from the factory would be the best way to go. I've seen smart lifts on Bridgestone's fleet of 53' dry vans. They're real nifty and have plenty of lift to avoid scuffing tires on bad bumps and potholes. If you do a lot of deadheading or lightweight loads it's a great thing to have as long as your tires don't scuff when lifted!!86scotty Thanks this. -
It's definitely something to think about. I'm not sure if I would really use it either though. Thanks for the info.
