Yeah...the ones in PA and South Carolina. However, none of the ones in CT have. Including phone calls.

Ok guys, I need a new enclosed trailer. Its gotta be a custom build cause I need a 7' interior clearance minimum along with some other requirements. Where do I go that isn't going to bend me over on price? I don't mind driving if the price is right.

SDG Trailer Sales

Bought two trailers from these folks, one in 2007 and one in 2012 and had great experiences both times. Their pricing really can't be beat up here, I paid $6,500 for an 8.5 x 28' V-nose trailer with 7' interior height and 14,000 lb GVWR. Of course the downside is that you'll have to drive to southern Georgia to get it.

They had the trailer ready about three days after I ordered it, and I picked it up directly from the manufacturer in Willacoochie, GA.

Those are some really good prices, the best I have seen by far. Not exactly a short drive though, roughly 16 hours each way not counting stops. I wonder if they have delivery options... or if someone here wants to take a trip for me

Toss me your keys and a card for fuel and I'd happily make the trip!

Tracy is happy to arrange truck freight up here, but it's not cheap. When I asked a couple of years ago I was told over $1/mile.

Assuming that charge is only one way, that puts it at around $1000. I figure its going to cost me at least half that in fuel, forget the fact that I would need to spend 3 nights at hotels/motels (I can't handle much more than 8 hours a day on the road without becoming a liability ). Still cheaper than buying one up here. I would be legitimately open to paying someone here to make the run if they are interested though. I don't have any desperate need to drive for 4 days with the wife and kids.
