<p>[QUOTE="Mnmover99, post: 12360617, member: 338043"]Wally MO will not last, rust out quickly. Cottrell is probably better, but what part of the market are you going to? Auctions, or new vehicles? The trailer can be made for the vehicles you will be transporting. DOT requires 1 million liability as the vehicles are classified as Haz Mat, because of gas and batteries, but you will not need haz mat authority. You need to get your 5th wheel slide moved back almost to the end of the frame rails. Also, self contained system or are you going to have a wet kit on your tractor. A common load board is Central Dispatch. Find a lane you like and work it. Be careful many trailers have had fires because the packed wheel bearing run out of grease. Oil bath wheel bearings sometimes leak, but last longer. A trailer that has air bag drops and risers may help getting over curbs etc.Older trailers rust from the inside out, so trailers over 5 years old can be a poor investment. Securing with wheel straps is for new vehicles, but rollers with chains with a RTJ hooks work also. Extra hose ends and fittings and hose are always useful.
