    Have you priced these trailers lately?

    If you make this investment I would bet that it is not going to work as part-time, whenever I have some free time type thing, especially considering the amount of cargo insurance required as mentioned before.

    If that trailer doesn’t cost you anything sitting around you may be able to become friends with some local tow companies. They may need you or your trailer to haul off some fubar’s every once in awhile. Low boys are needed pretty often for wreck recoveries but not all the mom and pops own them. Get enough to help pay for the plates and tires.

    For what it’s worth, you won’t be able to fit a 244” set back front axle truck like mine in a 29’ well. I’m right around 30’ end to end, so is the rest of our fleet.
