    6000 hours is very low for those years. I’m close to that with the 2019 trailer I’m pulling.

    I was curious because it’s my first refer and these are all lease returns, that’s why I wanted to know if they were too old. The lowest hours I’ve seen was just over 2200 but I figure you have fleets that lease large numbers of. trailers and some just get more use than others. The do have some trailers with more than 10000 hours, but I decide to go for the low hour trailers

    My 2007 carrier currently has over 35k engine on hrs, when I bought it 7 yrs ago it had 18k I believe. I did replace the compressor at 20k hrs and again this past Thanksgiving

    Ok, I like those numbers. Thanks for the reply. The units I’m looking at are lease returns and the hours range from 2200 to over 10000, and the years are 2009 to 2015. The ones I’m interested in are the lower hours and they are 2014’s and 2015’s. I think I’m on the right track

    Btw how much do ryder want for those? I think u should wait a couple months and you're gonna see tons of cheap newer reefers, trucks, dryvans, flatbeds on the market. I'm gonna buy a reefer too this summer, I'm looking to go to Ritchie brothers auctions

    I’ve tried RB auctions, and people bid too high there. Ryder runs between the mid teens to the mid twenties, but have noticed newer trailers in the mid twenties in truck paper but they had more hours on them.

    Make sure to get one with swing out doors, you don’t want a roll up door. I’m only mentioning it because I know Ryder has a lot of the roll up door trailer.

    CHECK under those trailers every cross beam. They can only "Bridge" so much weight I think 13000 on pallets every 14 feet or so. Sometimes someone tosses a belly load on to them and hurt them. The trailers.

    Old thread I know... But why the advice against the roll up door? I'm looking to possibly increase my ltl loads, mainly OTR but some of my cross docks would be better with a roll up. But I've never pulled one. I imagine it would require a set off bulkheads since I can't see much insulation built into a roll up... Are there other problems?
