Congratulations I was thinking about buying my own 5'3 dry van only question if I buy a 2006/7 is brokers/shippers denial me load do to it not being 10 years or newer?
Depends on what you want and the year and condition of it, my trailer was probably worth about $8500 but the market at the time everything was high, I paid $13k for it, now it’s probably worth about $5k
Is it wood or composite inside and transparent or aluminum roof ? Trying to buy a used trailer just not sure what to look for also what about age ? Any issues with shippers or brokers on older trailer or certain types of.trailers?
Would you by a trailer over 10 years old ??? Will shippers work with you I’ve heard that it had to be no less than 10 years to get contracts got my authority looking for a trailer
@@mikethedon7984 the older trailer do the same as the newer ones when it comes to dry van, reefer I could see them wanting it to be a certain year because of cooling issues
@@headsuptv6885 good 👍 no problem few brokers deny the rest comply with what you got long as no leaks really not money’s problem they will work with you the majority of brokers
Congrats and thanks for the walk-through.

Do brokers won't work with you if you have a 2004 trailer? I'm looking into buying one just want to know. Comingfrom a New authority
I’ve never had a broker even ask the year of the trailer, you should be good driver
@@mikestruckinwithbigdaddy5233
Thanks Mike! I'll keep you posted with progress. Just put a down payment on a peterbilt 597
