    New addition to the fleet

    Decided to add a cargo trailer to the growing fleet of trailers. Picked this one up off Craigslist for 1200.00 last night. It's a 6x10 Interstate with barn doors. The gal even through in a new spare tire. Going to put some racks in it this weekend. Now I'll have a trailer dedicated to moblie Escrap.

    Nice! That will make a nice, rolling billboard for advertisement. Love to get one, like that.

    Thinking about putting "Cash For Computer Scrap" and a phone number on the sides. Since the trailer is going to be on the highway to Washington a lot it might generate a few leads.

    Thanks Thirsty, it got the wheels turning!

    That is a nice trailer. Looks like a vinyl wrap is in the future. May I make a suggestion and put a larger axle and some 10 ply tires on it. You know escrap can be heavy

    cool deal man! Might be cool to put a system with shelves going width ways, which are easy to lay in there, or to remove.

    Nice trailer..i wish I could find one for that price. Around here people think their trailers are still worth brand new prices.

    That's the rip-off company out of Mass. They go by that name, also CJ Enviromental, also J&D Liquidators, Cash for Gold, and probably a few others. You can look the up by the lengthy complaints on the web.

    right! OK, I was wondering if they was a member, but didn't like their website, it doesn't really say much at all, until you try to leave, then they start pop-up boxes trying get you to stay, haha
