    I know of a place that has a 2004 Great Dane dry van for sale. 53 foot, air ride, swing doors, sliding tandem, logistics posts. The guy said it's got good brakes and tires, but I haven't seen the trailer in person yet. Let's assume 50% on the tires and brakes. They are asking $9900. What do you think?

    Seems a little high compared to what I've been seeing on truck paper but not extremely high.

    I browse the truck paper quite often. For an "04 Dane, that seems pretty good. Knight sells their junky 10 year old trailers for $8500. And Pardner, they are beat......

    Logistics POSTS? do you mean ports? I would avoid any trailer with logistics ports like the plague if you ever intend to secure cargo. Look for either e-trac or trailers with strong enough walls to use load locks.....
