    Please help me!! I been looking for pneumatic trailers all over the place. Right now, I'm working as a frac sand hauler in Fort Worth, TX. The contract for the trailer that I'm using is going to expired in 2 weeks. The company that I'm working for as a O/O told me that they will probably have trailers coming in by December, 2011. I'm currently paying $ 450.00 a week. Please let me know if any one knows someone who is renting pneumatic trailers. If I would have a good credit I wouldn't be asking this questions. Thanks so much in advance!

    The problem with pneumatics is that you can't find them new or used and if you do find them used the prices are astronomical. I sold four trailers three years ago for eight grand apiece I turned around and bought them back last month for 24 grand apiece because I needed them and couldn't find any others.

    Thanks so much for the responses. Unfortunately, my contract will not be renew because the owner of the trailers need them for his own trucks. Thanks so much!

    Just curious as to how long you've been doing this line of work?
    If you are an O/O doing this and you've been doing it longer than six months how can you not have put back enough in Escrow to purchase a brand new one outright?

    This is the line of work I'm fixing to get into the first of the year, just curious as to what company you are leased out to, if you are factoring or have your own authority. Thanks in advance.

    Why can't you renew the contract? Is there a problem? May I ask who you're driving for?

    Try Walpole out of Okeechobee, FL. Maybe they want to sell one of there junk units. Which is to say ANY of their units. Will probably need vibrators.
