    Maybe, I know I deal with same trailer guy in Missouri on all my trailers.
    Another guy bounces from TN, To MS, and AR dealers.
    He got 25k trade in on a 5 year old trailer for a brand new trailer.
    He switches from Wilson and Timpte.

    i stay with Wilson.
    I ordered a new trailer the same week, mine is $1,000 more, but has a lift axle, and auto inflator, not to mention it’s a 43’ 84” tall x102 whereas his is a 41’ 78”x96

    I got 38k trade in on a trailer that’s also 5 years old.

    Dealing with a company they know if you stay with them and keep the brand, you’ll get deals and they’ll take care of any problems.

    I won’t even think about selling my truck until my divorce was final in fact I wouldn’t even mention the thought out loud in her hearing range .. Not that I know anything about marriage or a divorce .. but I have watched some friends go through it cause half of what ever you clear on the sale of the truck will go in her purse

    Sorry to hear about that, but look at the bigger picture, my divorce was NOT one of the things I regret. I hope the Packard(?) is secure, not sure where the Jag came from. I think divorces have gotten a bit more civil than 20 years ago, where in the courtroom, it was me, some old man deputy sleeping in the back, the judge was a woman, the DA was a woman and my ex's lawyer, also a woman, I didn't have a prayer. It was a crummy time, lost everything, the Harley, the Diamond T and yes, my Western Star, ( kept our Packard until just a few years ago) but you know, looking back, it was not so bad. Good luck, pal

    We’ve been in the midst of this going on two years. She has no claim or attachment to my business life. The agreement has been finalized, so now it’s just a waiting game.

    If you list on craigslist you will have people wanting to buy through EBAY with a check for their son, brother etc. Their check is not good and they always have a story about being out of the country etc. Just say no.

    If you have time, a place to hold the truck and the patience to deal with tire kickers, put it on Facebook Marketplace, Truckpaper or Craigslist to get the dollar amount you have in mind. If you don’t have the time, place and patience to do that and are willing to take a decent chunk less, you can ask your nearest dealers if they’ll do consignment. It’ll usually sell a little faster that way too and there’s a lot less footwork you have to do. Lastly, if you want the thing gone ASAP and don’t care what it brings, put it in an auction.
