    Post something on adds saying you will pay an ungodly amount and someone will sell you one. Good luck.

    I take it you haven’t checked Facebook marketplace in a major transportation city like Atlanta ?

    There’s a lot on there for sale.

    none of them Brand new and Probabaly all up 30%~50% compared to pre covid prices
    But that’s the new reality .

    Im not a dealer, just a carrier that ordered a lot of trailers over a year ago. Some foresight has definitely paid off and simply going to take advantage of the situation. Been selling our used ones and replacing with the new ones coming in. The used ones have been selling in the mid $50k's in less than a day. Obviously been under pricing them.

    But yes, those trailers are currently available, I haven't advertised them yet.
