    Well. For the snooty-snoots who are fortunate enough to haul the trailers they deem worthy of being on their tractors, bully for you!

    Not everybody has that option.

    My paperboy could afford a van trailer. I spend more in fuel last week than an average 53' box costs.

    Goody. There are a lot of company drivers here ...and a lot of drivers leased on to companies. Who don't run their own authority.

    Ya, last year one got blown over in the yard. The tow charges to get it upright were more than what the trailer was worth...

    Yeah, for brand new trailers. Ever heard of something called depreciation in regards to used equipment?

    That's still extremely cheap compared to other trailers.
