    Any thoughts where I could find a reasonable price dry van trailer? Have you ever refurbished one before?

    I've got trailers too.... The problem is "reasonable price". I've got two going up in the next month. A 2014 and a 2017dry van. Both well equipped, and going off recent results I think the 17 will close in on 50k, while the 14 will likely top 40k.

    Hard to buy at reasonable prices when they're selling like they are now.

    Equipment prices are insane. I may sell everything in the yard. My kids aren’t interested in the business at all, and I’m not having nearly as much fun as I used to. May be time to walk away with a bag full of cash and time on my hands.

    Company I worked for had refers refurbished. Still junk just with new paint. The #### that still didn’t work was a disgrace.

    I thought about that too. I keep my 5 trucks and 2 o/o’s busy, and turn down work almost every day. If I figure out a way to screw a cell phone to the handlebars of my FL I’d probably be ok.
