Furniture Row Express

The ExtraLease trailers are worth more money than some of the newer ones... They are structurally in much better shape... I expect they might use some of the 2100 series trailers for a while, and of course the new 2300s... The others will be cycled out rather quickly... I expect they will sell them, most will bring more sold than scrapped...

 

I sure do not disagree with your summation here. I always felt that way too. But seems to me like it would be a good idea to at least give 'em a chance.

 

I heard recently that celedaon is now pulling flatbeds also. WHY DO THESE COMPANIES FEEL THE NEED TO BUY EVERYBODY UP???????? Give it time and all we will have is Swift, JB Hunt, and Celadon PERIOD

 

You guys are all going through what we went through last year when Heartland bought Gordon...

we tried to rationalize things...give them a chance and all that...

now everyone that i knew at gordon is gone...just couldnt take all the bs...

 

Is this the same Furniture Row as the NASCAR team owned by Barney Visser??? If so, is that being sold too???

 

Yes and no. Barney just unloaded the trucking company.

 

I thought the Prime trailers were compliant as well, but mabe not... Of the trailers that FROW has unloaded in the last year, the Extra Lease ones were fetching the best money, and were the most wanted, especially the Great Danes... The reason for this is structural integrity... As for the heaviest trailers, those are here and there in the triple digit group... Some of the 2000 series have the worst structural integrity... The big issue here is that Celedon does not have enough trailers to service our customers at this time, so they are going to be forced to use some for a while until they acquire more equipment... I expect that will happen as quick as they can get them...

 

I expect if they get short on flatbed drivers, they will want me to switch over... I have vast experience in that realm...
