    It's pretty special to me. It was inventory from an outfit named Smith and had an operator named Jones.

    Looks like a plate trailer with e track.

    Are the inside walls smooth and likely white or plywood? Places every so many feet to attach tie downs?

    I am not sure how useful this tale will turn out to be but my
    53’ semi truck van trailer storage trailer Dry van is a 53’ box trailer for a semi, a 53 footer, a van, a van trailer, a door shutter, anything and everything amongst all of the above. Simply put, it’s a van that once belonged to Smith & was hauled around by Jones and I guess I could nickname it Smith & Jones -- wait. Is it a vessel that is called a her? I forgot to ask!

    You should tell people you have a 53 foot tanker that you put HHG in for storage. Then just go along with it.
