Buying A Used Dry Van Advice/Input?

Beat up Hyundai…

 

Trailers get thrashed on so hard by shippers and receivers it's not even funny.

Had one of ours that had like 3200 miles on it, someone had already put holes in both sides with something. About 2 feet off the deck.

Another someone drug something out, turned a bunch of the deck into pencil shavings. Just sad.

 

What auction is this?

 

Taylor and Martin

 

I’m registered with Richie brothers. But did not see any good prices yet

 

I’ve seen a ton of dry vans at the Taylor and Martin auctions lately.
But each auction is different.

 

I run dry van for many years. Absolutely REQUIRED in my opinion:

Aluminum roof
Etrack at minimum every 50”
Air ride suspension
Swing doors
Dura plate walls

Nice but not required:

Etrack closer
Wood floors

Deal breakers:

Etrack that is not flush with walls
Wooden walls or ceiling
Fiberglass ceiling

 

Company I used to work for has broke 3 vans in half loading ingets, sows, t bars whatever you wanna call em.
