The future cost of Dry Van trailers: It isn't looking good...

[TXTrucker]

I never got a response here @Mike what are your thoughts about "Record" prices of equipment and "rapidly" rising "interest rates"

Been couple years, curious what your thoughts are now?

I checked the market this year, dry van trailers could be had for $40k pretty well equipped, but not everything I want.

I had a small intermittent leak show back up that has come and gone since the traile was new. Chose to have the entire top resealed, installed new door seals, and treated the trailer floor with Thompsons water seal to stop water from traveling up the bolts from the frame.

Just gonna continue running my current trailer, because the freight market doesn't justify investing in a new one.
