$ell advertising space on your trailer.INCOME!

Owner/Operators,

I'd like to make a suggestion that I have found worked very well for me.

I was paying out over $400 per month plus mileage charges to rent/lease a trailer. After thousands of dollars going to the lease company, I was no closer to being able to purchase my own trailer. At least one that was in decent condition.

I had been doing regular load hauling for a company who was part of a larger umbrella of similar companies. I approached them about the prospect of advertising on a trailer and they were very receptive to the idea.

Now the deal I made was an exchange of zero percent financing of a trailer of my choice, and they got to put their advertisment on it for as long as I owned the trailer.

I found a trailer in good condition for $5000, still with a valid safety. They cut the check, and I had a roadworthy trailer with no money down.

It took a couple months for them to get organized for the advertisment to be put on. They went with a complete trailer wrap. It looks fantastic!

The trailer, a 1998 Staughton 53ft Van looks like a brand new trailer!
Not only does it look good, the wrap helps protect the walls of the trailer from corrosion from road salt etc...

Payments I make are set up at my schedule. They have been very flexible with me.

I wanted to post this for all of you who are having a difficult go of it. You can do this also as an additional income. Another option would be to make a deal for an advertiser to look after the maintenance and repairs of the trailer in exchange for the advertising.

We all have to find ways to cut corners and save money, especially now.

I hope this helps someone out there like it did for me...

 

Yes, they are posted in my album on here. Just click on my name above and select view my profile.

 

Yes sir... $5G

 

The deal was done very quickly and verbally. There is no contract with them, but they have been very loyal customers that pay well. As mentioned above, this one, they already paid. They bought the trailer outright. It went right in to my company name. No strings except the verbal agreement that I will repay the $5G over time with no interest.

I could have done better, but I needed a trailer that didn't cost me $400 a month in to someone elses pocket in short order. I would assume that not everyone would be like these have been with me. Most would want something in writing.

They paid for the wrap and install. It was well worth it to me... Financially I have a lot less burden on me for paying out monthly, and for them, they got a real deal for advertising. It workks for both our benefit. Also kind of secured our business relationship a bit...
