Having Trouble Finding A Used Trailer

[wjhuskey]

Does anyone know of a good place to buy a good used hopper bottom trailer? I've looked all over the internet like on truckpaper.com, fastline.com, commercialtrucktrader.com, trucker.com and many more. I can't find exactly what I'm wanting. I'm wanting one black in color, 40 ft Timpte with high sides to match a standup sleeper. I'd like it to be in the $20,000-$25,000 price range so something around a 2000 year model or older. Does anyone know of a trailer sales that always has a lot of hopper bottoms to choose from? Maybe one you've passed on the road while trucking? I'd need to know the name of the place so I could google it to see if they have a website. I'm needing a trailer really soon because the harvest season is here. Let me know if you know of a good place.

The only guy I know who pulls hoppers told me that those things hold their value. When he was looking for his, he figured out the used ones are almost as expensive as new.

I'll be saving around $16,000 by buying a good used one with good rubber.

truckertotrucker.com is one, bigiron.com or purplewave.com

I think that's the type of trailer needed up in North Dakota for the oil fields and from what I hear, it's the hottest thing since sliced bread and can bring in $90 per hour and more if you own one and a truck.

A friend of mine just traded a 2010 model just like this but with split tubs and lots of extra lights at Eby here in ohio. Although the salesman is an idiot and talked him out of all the aluminum options. (subframe, kingpin plate ext.)
