Should I purchase a open trailer 1st or a enclosed? Which will bring more customers

I kno its more to transfer a vehicles enclosed, but would you stay loaded.

 

With an enclosed you'll always be able to haul open loads but also enclosed . So I'd say an enclosed first would be the most flexible for starting out.

 

Ok thanks, but how would I charge a customer who paying for regular open? Would i be losing ?

 

Yes you would be. I have run the numbers many times and what it boils down to is this, unless you have your own customers supplying you with a lot of work, you are taking a loss going with enclosed. I would have to be gone from home more and still make less. Just not enough enclosed work out there.

 

So appreciative of you giving me advice, i have a book full of question to ask those who came before me to lay the ground work for young ambitious o/o . You mind me asking a few more question

 

No problem. That's what this forum is for.

 

Agreed. When they want enclosed they are willing to pay more, but often not that much more. Enclosed is ALWAYS more difficult to load, also normally less capacity that open.

I don't see myself ever investing in an enclosed trailer.

Just my opinion and it's likely worth what you have paid me for it...

 

I just seen you in Orlando at the auction

 

Who, me? Never been there.. LOL. That's my story and I'm sticking to it..

Next time if I'm around the rig come say hello...

 

Yea we met and spoke one time at manheim daytona
