    I guess I'll have to get a newer one. I don't like spending money on something like a phone, but I suppose it is necessary.

    The current pressing question is-

    Two new, brand new Hyundai dry vans or two a bit older.

    Two new $65,000.

    Two used $38,000

    New are 2020's 10 year warranty. Used are 2012. Warranty unknown. Warranty is basically structural.

    These are things that make you go...........hmmmmm..

    If the used are not all beat to heck, structurally sound, and speced how you want them I would lean that way.

    The more common trailer D.O.T. issues (Airbags, brakes, and lights) are cheap enough to say "just replace all that junk with new"

    Make sure to measure the kingpin (or use the gauge thingy) to make sure that's not worn out....

    The thing that gets me is certain customers won't take a van over 10 years old.

    Buy the new ones so you get the bigger tax deduction.
