Buffalo IL | I would recommend an aluminum trailer. The steel trailers will still rust even if cleaned and kept in a shed. They lap the metal and leave areas that are uncoated to prevent rust. One trip with salt on the road and it's done for. I've got a 97 boss that is rusting bad and needs to go to the shop or do it myself. The most profitable thing for me would be to never buy another trailer and sell the 3/4 ton trucks and get a 1/2 ton truck that gets 20 mpg. A 7gal improvement x 25000 miles = 3571.42 gal less fuel x $3.50/gal= $12499.97/year less cost. I think I could pay someone to haul my cattle for less and most people that buy my calves can load them at the farm. Before I do that I need to get a lowboy for the semi to haul hay. | |
