    Has anyone had any experience with them? Good or bad? I'm looking at a '16 48ft steel w/wood deck with a beaver tail, closed tandem, and air ride. Cross members are rusty but look pretty sound yet. $19,500. Not sure yet if I should pull the trigger or not.

    Thanks!

    Company I drive for had a custom built Jet trailer for hauling spotter trucks. We no longer haul them and have sold the trailer. I pulled it for about 5 years. It had a spread on 17.5 tires . No real problems with it, well built trailer. The small tires were it's only drawback but once we started running a good brand of tire that solved the tire problem. This trailer had a aluminum floor. Half tank fuel I was 31050 empty.

    This one has the lowpros, 255/70R22.5. Drove out and bought it this morning. Rode really nice coming back! Hope it'll work well. Took it across the scale at work, trailer is 12,840.

    I think you'll be happy with it if it's like the trailer we had . Jet is well made in my opinion.
