    Bought my first 3 door at that casino in Black River Falls for $175. Bought my current one, practically brand new, with 2 lumber tarps, and 4 of those 3/8-1/2 binders with the fold own handles, $300 for all, at the TA in Baytown. Unbolted it from a Landstar driver's truck and laid it on a step deck. Switched everything over and gave the old rack to a buddy of mine that had an open rack. I always keep a thousand bucks handy for just in case of a good deal.

    Im also running into a problem with size. I have rear stacks and there is only 60 inches of room between. I may need to go with the open kind and just strap tarps on it or to deck. Straps i can put in the side box of the trailer although this will be a bigger PITA when i switch trailers.
