Owning Multiple Types of Trailer

Hey, everyone. I was curious how many of you own two or more trailer types. Part of me thinks that it would be a good idea, but then I start to think about the piece of equipment I would have that's just sitting at home costing money and tying up equity while I'm out with the other trailer. Do you own more than one type of trailer and, if you do, do you find it beneficial? Thanks.

 

Trailers make money, trucks don’t! Lots of people in our area own multiple trailers due to seasonal work.

 

Yes so true. We have vans that get used as temporary storage trailers for a little extra $ when not used for long periods during the year. Pays for the plates that might only get used a few weeks during a year.

 

In my particular scenario I would have a flatbed conestoga and an RGN. I just wonder if it would behoove me to possess both since I can only be hooked to one at a time.

 

Van and Reefer.

 

I own a covered wagon and a hopper. But can rent van and step deck in one phone call.

 

Flatbed conestoga and low pro step. I’ve had a return load on the connie since Friday. I was still able to pull the step. This might not be beneficial if you run like a gypsy.

 

I thought about having all three: van, reefer and open deck. Using them accordingly to what good times are for each. But the parking is too expensive where I am at.

 

I tend to stay in the eastern half of the US.

 

That's certainly a factor. $150 for each spot, though I may be able to get a discount on multiple spots.
