should have got a trailer before authority.
But that's just me. -
Cant go backwards. Any suggestions going forward?
-
find a good equipment leasing company that you can get a trailer with.
If your tractor is paid off, possibly use it for collateral.
Consider this. You are going to pay $1500+ for a trailer rental.
You can lease a $13,000 reefer for around $350 per month for 36 months. with a $1500 down payment.

That's a monthly savings of $1150. Or about $41,400. -
Thanks for the advice!!!

Look at Greatwide website, I know several that are very successful there. They have several different divisons to choose from nationwide.

I should add.
This is an equipment lease with a purchase option to buy at the end of a 36 month lease. I am currently purchasing both my tractor and trailer this way.
