Reefer/Trailer Mfg with best resale

You understand me perfectly. It's scary sometimes. But I accept it.

I defend the spread 10 foot as a necessary evil to stop the stupid shippers from loading heavy back there. 40,000 pounds takes care of many 36000 over tandem weights quickly.

Im sorry CA scotched it. I guess I'll have to buy a 96" 48 footer. IF they don't want to let me be free with a 53, then, eff them I'll go back to what really worked in Jersey off toll. 96" wide and 48 foot.

 

Maybe a compromise then. What do you think about the little 4 foot canadian tandem spread. It's not very much space between axles. But it's gotta be way better than a standard 34000 tandem.

 

So I reluctantly am cornered back into standard tandem.

Let me offer my last card to the river draw for you to consider.

A third axle. There should be a few thousand over gross and axle weights wont be a issue, amd I hope it's possible to slide these. Or use a Michican tag axle to deploy under the center marker light. The skits can still be there in fron tof the usual rails with 250 holes to slide the aft tandems where necessary.

Trailer will still be a great dane. But it's going to be either a 48 or marked with a 48' line prior to it's 53.

Im pretty solid on great dane.

 

Great Dane, Wabash, and Utility are all made here in the US. Hyundai is made in Mexico.

I personally would pick from the 3 made here. I buy American made as much as I can.


Would have to guess that the resale value would be better than something that's made out of the country.

 

I am happy with my Great Dane reefer. Got it with ice cream spec, carrier 7500 x4, pretty well all the options. $78,500 USD. I would buy another one. Sturdy as hell. Intend to keep it for a long, long time. Or should be not too difficult to unload it should I decide to exit the industry.

 

yep after a couple to years doors don’t want to close.GreatDane is the best!

 

Utility with a thermo king. Won’t have any problem selling
