Truck\Trailer Combination?

Thanks @flatbedcarrier that helps me a lot. Now if I could only find the right trailer somewhere near the PNW. I have a couple options on the west coast, California, lol. Other than that it seems TX has some inventory right now.

Interesting conversation with a trailer dealer in Cali this morning who insisted that I had to pay California Sales Tax if I picked up the trailer inside Cali, otherwise they would have to ship to another state for delivery and wanted $1000.00 for the shipping. After a few minutes on the phone with California BOE I discover that if we use the guidelines in CA Reg 1620.1 I can purchase the trailer in California and pick it up there as long as I remove it from that state within 30-75 days depending on whether it was built inside that state or not. Additionally Reg 1620.1 allows for the trailer to later be used in Interstate Commerce and would be allowed back in CA for that use without any use or sales tax. Reg 1621 would waive the tax requirement but would restrict the trailer from coming back into CA for any reason or the tax would be owed.

 

Thanks guys for the words of wisdom. Trailer is paid and waiting in Texas and the truck is waiting for me in Idaho. Unless they get a Mega Cab Short Box, I will go with the Crew Long Box and hope for the best, lol. Planning to be in Houston by January 12th to hook trailer to truck. Nervous and excited both.

Decided to go with a 40ft 25900# PJ with 2x12k duals and slide in ramps, disc brakes, no air ride.

 

I definitely will post here with updates once I am running.
Maybe would be no harm to get ahold of him, planned on starting out with a new one but I am open to something in excellent condition, Thanks.
