    I’ve owned mine for 1 year. Happy so far. Nice well optioned 53’. I will say the deck seems a little softer than the last aluminum trailer I had. It’s 9,210 lbs with a sliding rear axle, all aluminum wheels, aluminum fifth wheel plate and enclosed rear panel. To early to tell if I’d buy another but I bought it well right before the market went nuts so happy I bought it.

    Thanks for that update and photos. Should I be looking for a trailer after the madness ends if/when I go L/O or O/O, that trailer looked really interesting, affordable and other than the Fontaine, something I would like to get if the chance arises.

    Currently most trailers I've had as a company driver, has been more problematic from the point of view of the company's drivers not maintaining them, then basic design, features and durability. What amazes me, or rather it really doesn't, is that once a trailer was assigned to me and repaired under my oversight, it never needed major repairs afterward until they changed me off of it. I often thought Swift was using me to find, fix and upgrade their trailer fleet, while I wasn't making the kind of money I should have. The bane of being someone who cares to do the job right. :)
