That’s about it. The UCR includes 1 st trailer for no charge. Aside from tires and brakes. Minor stuff, Not a big deal
How much are the costs of owning a dry van?

Tires and breaks I assume you included with regular maintenance? LIGHTS can be a pain in the ash, and the abs can also be a pain.
bzinger and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
My trailers an 08 w/ aprox. 500 k just replaced main abs ( Penske has spliced it after dragging the ground) $135 also both wires to wheels @ $ 35? Ea. Not bad sensors (2) about $50. Gonna repack bearings and do brakes again Myself this time. Last time they got me about $2000 with new drums.Never again.

I bought mine in 2016 for $30500, with a down payment of $3000, I pay $583 a month for 5 years. In IL registration was $114 - one time only and good forever. Insurance is roughly $83 a month ($2.5K deductible). So far, there was only greasing and floor sweeping for maintenance.

Your monthly payment will depend on how much downpayment you give, the interest rate, and the length of the loan.CorsairFanboy and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
New is the best way to go. Especially because of wood floor life, and cost to replace or even patch problem areas. I kept last one too long.I bought it @ 3 yrs old for $12 k and ran it 13 yrs.Replaced bogie for $.3500 and ran it 2 yrs before floor and rails were shot. Now it’s storage only. Should have sold it 8 yrs earlier and bought new. Good bogie if anyone’s looking.
