    Can someone share their experiences with TnT trailer Rentals out of Saint Louis, MO area.

    I just want to know if they are fair about charges on wear and tear on the trailer when you return it.

    I was approved to rent an all alluminium Flatbed from them and needed $950 for first month rent and $2000 deposite to cover wear and tear. With flatbed work,

    You will like them. I just rented a 53ft flat from them today. I also rented a 53ft step from them last year. If you return it is good condition and not all tore up, with at least as good of tires and brakes you will get your deposit back. But if you return it all beat up they will tell you to fix before you bring it back. I could not believe the way some of their customers treated the trailers and then got upset when they didn't get their deposit back.. Good Luck.

    Thanks Bad Monkey, I will probably go rent one next week. Is your 53' flat all Alluminium ? I need a light trailer because some remote places only have 48K+ loads.

    I'm seriously considering buying a used 2005 GreatDane combo flatbed for $6000 to be use in the short term but afraid this option may cost me much more due to unforseen maintenence and downtime. My ultimate goal is to get an all Alluminium flatbed with Rolling Tarp System. Since I am short of funds, I needed to increase my earnings immediately by getting a temporary flatbed trailer. April to September should have good freight for flatbed. If things work out, I should have enough saved to buy a Flatbed with the rolling tarp system.

    No, I got a fontaine combo. I am still at 30k empty and I don't like heavy loads anyways.
