    I almost rented from a place in Ottawa Lake Mi. As He was only one that would lease Me one. Even though Extra did in past. No one else would at the time. Advantage trailer 734-854-8080. Prices were good, about half of others. Trailers were older and maintenance costs schetchy, Since merged into a bigger outfit. Good Luck

    That would be great but unfortunately you would pull your hair out vetting and/or kicking people out of it. Humans gonna human.

    Yeah I wasn't serious about running it. I am done managing people they are so unreliable.

    I know for a fact that's not true. My dad has used them before, they deal with 1 truck operations.

    @TruckRunner where are you located? Bowman rented us a van (2 years old, 101 inside width) for 350 a month and you can opt to have them do the maintenance which we did for 3c a mile. If you want ill pm you with the guys contact info we used. I think its right around 425 or 450 for a brand new one

    Well that's what the guy told me. This may come as a shock to you but rules do change. Go call and ask them to see if they say the same thing.

    Could have been two minutes ago rules change at any time.
