old dry van help.. please

I can't answer your question but, id say it looks good! Good deal…….and 1st load was a test load

 

yeah thats pretty normal sometimes with all the jerking around back there im like what the hell are they doing back there lol honestly my last trailer I had didnt look half as good as that and it lasted me 2 years of coarse I baid like $5500 for it but cant really complain too much cause running it for two years it more then paid for itself the one I got now was $14,000 and it should last me a long time.

just one thing to really look for is buldges on the side of trailer thats what was wrong with the first one i had they got bigger and bigger till it was about to collapse I ended up selling it for scrap not even good as a storage trailer since bottom was about to fall out.

 

Little late, but if the bill was that outstanding you could have very well picked it up for just the shop bill. Talking to the shop and find out how far along they with the mechanic's lean . Once that's done , they could sell it for the shop bill.

 

it would have been too expensive once you start replacing panels. those panels are $800 a piece however selling for scrap i got $1000 for it so not too bad

 

Was just passing on info that may save someone else some money one day? Hope your new trailer does a fine job , once you get the small bugs worked out.

 

Evansville is a hot market for vans. Floor flexing like that is normal.

 

I'd check those hub oil levels real careful if they haven't been.

I like junky old trailers though. They're fun to wrench on and fix up. My company owns this old air-ride Great Dane and it's a hoot to pull around. 24.5 low pro rubber none of them match of course and they only hold 100 psi on odd days. Nice interesting mix of aluminum and steel wheels. One stainless barn door in nice condition and other is dull and rotting. Tire carriage underneath with no tire. Somebody stole the tandem puller one time so I had Great Dane put a new one on haha. Has two foot steps and a vertical hand hold on the nose that leads up to a vent door similar to one on the back of a reefer box. I think it might have been a used to haul produce or something before. Every time I haul a load in that thing it feels like I'm getting away with something I shouldn't be
