    Does anyone know by chance how much a refurb by these guys cost? Would seem like a cheaper alternative than buying a brand new van. Anyone ever had any experience with them. They make trailers for many of the LTL companies as well as truckload.


    Just wanna see pricing options. Thanks guys

    Don't know the cost involved.
    RSI is a Con-way enterprise.
    They refurbished many of the older CFI trailers.
    Put new floors, doors, suspension parts, and wheels & tires.
    The work they did was of good qualities, bought another five to ten years of trailer life.

    I want to bump this thread to see if anybody has any more information to add. I started at Con-way Freight 2 months ago and have been checking all of our equipment out. You can't even tell a refurbished trailer apart from a brand new trailer. I would be interested to see the difference between the new a refurb prices also.

    I delivered a load of aluminum trailer floor panels to them once. They had about a dozen guys working out of a six bay garage, so I'm guessing their profits are healthy.
