    Looked over their website, doesn't look legit to me. You cannot look at inventory 1st to determine what equipment they offer. Says nothing about what happens at the end of the lease, because certainly you don't own anything at the end of the lease. Says nothing about if maintenance is included.

    You might be better off renting one from your carrier or buying one outright depending on what type you need. Carriers trailers maintenance is often included.

    i wouldn't get a 53 if you don't need it. the extra 5 feet is nothing more then a PITA.

    you have to deal with kingpin laws. and most loads accomodate for a 48 spread, not a 53 closed axle. it's aggravating to you AND the shipper when they have to adjust for the lowered weight limit on a closed axle.

    shippers love the extra footage as long as you can run the spread. they hate you when your going to a closed axle state.

    Go back to the site and click on contact us Availabletrailers.com
    scroll to the bottom of the contact page
    look for this statement

    AvailableTrailers.com is not a trailer
    dealer, bank, or a lender. We represent lenders who have lease-to-own lending programs. All financing and trailers are obtained through our third party vendors.

    word to the wise never give your social # Driver License # address online or phone because, if you do it will be there years after you die ,and some day you will find a 3 legged kangaroo applying for credit on your behalf.
