    Hello Truckers. What are your thoughts on an estimate for this dent on the trailer? Looks like I would need to replace the vertical post and rear panel. Would it have any effect on the opening and closing of the door? Thanks in advance. KakaoTalk_20240826_105048458.jpg KakaoTalk_20240826_105048458_01.jpg

    Yeah, it can affect the door. Depends, fixed right, 4-6k$ ish, maybe more. But, lots of trailers out there in the same or worse condition.

    If the doors seal, run it

    Looks like a company trailer. Why do you have to fix it?
