    Those are container locks. You can lock 2 20ft or 1 40ft containers. You don’t need chains or straps Those go up in the container and turn to lock them on.

    Just sold my last trailer, a 1995 model gooseneck that converted to step deck/flat bed that accommodated a cattle/stock rack. Maintained it religiously and replaced one floor board in all those years. Treated pine floor and never left it covered with anything that would hold moisture like manure, hay, dirt, etc.. Used it hauling hay, building material, saw dust, horses, cattle, sheep, llamas, tractors, other equipment, household goods, just everything. Sold it for $1000 more than what I paid in 1995. Your trailer looks great and like a money maker, congrats! FYI: somebody posted use oak for floor, my experience is that oak is really tough but can get brittle and split, it also gets pretty heavy particularly on a trailer that size.

    In my prior career; towing, we were incorporated. Our wise accountant suggested that we buy the new trucks ourselves, form our own leasing company, register them to our own personal address and lease them to the corporation.
    Uncle Sam said huh? Twice we were audited and the only one thing we were doing wrong was filling up our own personal vehicles on the fleet cards

    Tim, I absolutely love watching someone with so much passion for what they do. I share your excitement for that trailer.
    Yes I understand what that race car did for you. I did the same thing. At a time when work stress had consumed me and I was feeling rather dead inside I bought a Honda Cr250 two stroke motocross bike to make me feel alive again. To scare some life back into me and to inject some fun into my existence. It worked.
    God bless.

  • @sethwells5266
    @sethwells5266 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Make sure to read the fine print, it can definitely be beneficial definitely with how you like fixing up older trucks and adding to your fleet. It isn’t one huge expense at one time, and since you’re so used to just paying for it out of your working capital, in theory it should make that capital grow even more. Get a good rate, think on it and go for it if it’s something you would be into. All these “no credit cash only, credit only hurts you” type of people obviously don’t do business. You obviously are great, or your wife is great, at the financial side of the business so I believe it was be a great thing to do.
