    I am trying to figure out what a 53ft semi trailer is worth?

    I have 11 53ft trailers with Aluminum Sides and Roof. Floors are hardwood/steel?. Trying to figure out scrap value? Any ideas? Is $2000ea a far fetched number?

    Seems they could be sold for storage trailers unless they are absolute crap.

    Where I worked this summer (Ditzfeld Transfer) we used most of the older trailers for storage trailers, and rented them out. We took one of the tires off from each of the duals, then flipped that single tire around so it would be more stable, then sealed up all of the holes with silicone.
