    I just started my own authority. I'm having a hard time getting a trailer rental because my company is new. Does anyone know where I can rent without the hassle in the Atlanta, Georgia area or Florida?

    I'm puzzled, didn't you cover all of this before you went ahead and pulled the trigger on your own authority or did you expect to have everything fall into place as you went?

    A decent used 48x102 combo can be had for as little as 7,000. There's a place in Granbury TX that has tons of them and they're willing to finance. Check commercialtrucktrader and truckpaper as they're always running ads there.

    I wouldn't go there my buddy bought one there they were to have it brought down from Denver
    after 2 weeks we went to get it when we got there the trailer was junk. 2 new tires the rest were junk. so they took 4 pics of the same 2 good tires. brakes was listed as 90 percent ya 90% useded up. he paid for it before he seen it just went off the pics. he called them from Denver and said he wanted his money back they told him to go screw himself sad operation

    Who buys a trailer without seeing it in person? I appreciate the information but your friend kind of set himself up for that one. They do sound unprofessional though. There are still many other avenues the OP could pursue for a decent inexpensive trailer to purchase regardless.

    Craigslist is a good start to get a cheaper trailer.
