Tip: Cheap double axle car trailers...

Awesome and good for you . I’m about 40 miles to the north of you in blue Island . I also drive so very familiar with the 14 hour days (they suck) . Anyways if that trailer pulls good and works out for you maybe a little sandblasting and a paint job is in the future. I’m assuming your using Belson for your scrap yard , I always wondered if that was a good place to do business with . Maybe you can chime back in with info on Belson . Good luck with the trailer .

Belsons is a great yard, been going there since I was a little kid earning pocket money(about 20 years). Very friendly and best prices in the area for steel and copper.

Acme out of Kankakee is also pretty good, they accept catalytic converters and pay a little better on batteries.

From my understanding, belsons won’t buy complete cars so acme will be my go to.

I mean, I know U-Hauls don't get treated well, but it can't possibly be any worse than my last box truck was

I was told they negotiated on the trucks as well. From my understanding, the older the truck or trailer, the more their willing to negotiate to get it off the lot.

The managers at the uhaul locations where you’d pick up your purchase have no negotiating power, you call corporate and they put a note in the system. Managers or person ringing you up get a $50 commission so they are very happy to do it.
