48x96 obsolete?

I feel as though I have 3 of the worlds best supporters. My Fiancee, my father and my mother. That eliminates most of the truckers problems right there. LOL. Now its time to prove to my old man that there is money out there and get this ball rolling!! Everything is good to go except the stupid trailer situation. When I left the road 53x102 was just becoming the biggest thing since sliced bread. Now it seems a 48 footer period is dang near obsolete. Let alone a 48x96. So thats why i came on the forum was to see if I am gonna have to drop big money on a trailer right off the bat or not. I would prefer to get my feet wet before I go hog wild. Ya get what I am saying?

 

I wanna say 34,000, 35,000. give or take

 

Guys thanks for all the info!!!! Uncle. No I don't mind work. I am 32. So hey whatever pays. As for Allow Me, your right 100% but most of the brokers I am seeing demand a 53x102. Ya know so they can stuff 30 pallets on ya and force a lumping fee to be paid. I guess. 80k is 80k. haste makes waste in my opinion. But keep the ideas coming. This is starting to look better and better.

 

That's awesome. Love 48. I hate pulling a 53. Seems like wasted space.

 

Well I am hoping to make some contacts down in Louisville at M.A.T.S. Just wanna get the ball rolling. Yes I agree. 48 is the way to go. I hate draggin 53 around. But gotta do what ya gotta do right?
