    I have an old 1999 Fruehauf 45' Flatbed that has seen it's better days. The wooden deck needs replacement along with all the tires and some welding too.
    I want to sell it but Truckpaper and a few other websites only catter to dealership inventory. Craigslist isn't much of a resource either.

    Where do owner operators sell and buy there equipment?

    They sell on craigslist here all the time. They have a trailer category, but usually semi trailers are listed under heavy equipment, same with trucks.

    You mean hot shotters that aren't that bright? No..........lol. But Craigslist is unusable anymore because of the scammers in my opinion anyways.

    I had 1 guy that wanted to make a bridge out of it and he brought his expert with him because he didn't know anything about trucks. Well the expert didn't know much about flatbeds either as he told him it wouldn't hold up a car very long..

    I'm going to try the local farm auction next month

    That should work, we have 4 auctions a year here locally for trucks and equipment, sometimes they bring more than a guy would ask for it to start with.

    Live where the farms are. Shop at the local co-op.
