I've been looking for a dry van trailer for the past few weeks, but most places are advising me to wait until February. I was wondering if you guys knew of any businesses that might have some trailers right now or in the near future. We are based in Columbus, Ohio and will accept trailers up to 500 miles away, but we are open to alternatives even if they are further out.
If I'm incorrect, please correct me, but we would like a plated dry van because there's a potential we might come across loads that are food grade. What would you suggest for maintenance? Do all the maintenance in-house or pay the mileage fee for the scheduled maintenance? And do you guys have a preferred trailer manufacturer?

We are gonna go with a 2021 Utility Dry Van it’s $1000 a month and we need the equipment.Concorde Thanks this. -
Plated only means that they are a little wider on the interior. This allows you to haul loads like aluminum cans where they require a plated trailer. I owned one for a year and only needed it once. They are also not as sound and won’t last as long as non-plated trailers…just in case you decide to purchase one.

Should make sure trailer has meritor type air inflation, air slide release, what is distance between logistic posts, air ride or spring, etc. Get your moneys worth.

I tried Bowman last year when I started. They said they work with new owners but after filling out application they said they don’t. Pretty annoying.
ProfessionalNoticer and Siinman Thank this. -
