    Is that price close on a flat as well? Thats not real bad if they do the maintenance if u have the credit u would be better on a loan but credits tight now. That is 350 or 500 a month not a week right? I talked to ryder once about leasing but i dont remember the quote. I have been looking around at the prices lately on trailers and wow they are going for nothing. I started out with a 1984 miller 40ft a few years ago hauling with my authority ran it for a few months saved and picked me a 48ft fruehauf spread bought my tarps headache rack, chains and stuff a little along kept staying tight with my money now I still have the fruehauf and a 48ft benson 2 trucks so it can be done. Im not real up on the dryvans but I have seen quite a few 45ft flats for less then $5000 some less then $3000 they are not as long as i would prefer but thats why they are cheaper and most loads I haul could easly be put on a 45 I have a buddy running 15+ trucks and thats all he pulls are 45s. There are ways around credit its expensive if u drag it out but u can always put coltateral up like a car for small amouts like this and pay it back fast just remember dont spend more then u make and pay ur equipment before u pay yourself work hard and the rest will take care of itself.
