That's interesting. Wells Cargo has a plant in Elkhart, Indiana. perhaps a worker who had lost a job who wanted to forge their own way? The Atlas trailers in the pictures look pretty decent.

The specs on the car haulers sound like what My Pace has, is this the model you're looking at? It should work out well for you.

yes, that is their site. Im getting the cargo trailer. To be completely honest, I had never heard of them prior to about a week ago. I originally contacted the dealer for pricing on an H&H trailer. He also quoted a comprably speced Atlas and it was significantly less... why I dont know. I do know that H&H is hugely popular, likely inflating their prices. Judging from the specs, it really ought to be good. I guess worst case scenario, I will use it till it starts to give issues and then part with it. From what I can tell, enclosed trailers hold their value decently... Id imagine I wont loose to much on the sale down the road if need be. However, I think it should last me a long time considering it is built for 10k and will only haul 3-4K in mowers. If anyone wants, I can get closeups when the trailer is finished in 3-4 weeks. I ordered it today and decided to add yet another fuel door, lol. They are going to be located every 6' from the front end.

Im very happy with it and may upload pics once its all lettered.
If you want to see any specific pics of the build, let me know.
I was surprised to see that this trailer actually has leaf spring axles instead of the torsion springs. Im indifferent, but have heard my setup is more modular and a torsion spring axle would have to be completely replaced when an axle is bent.

Maybe some picts will attach?

and another?

Last one... I dont have one of the gate.

Business has litterally exploded this spring. Last year I ran unlettered and grew about 30% so I had budgeted another 30% growth again and have already sold that much (and more with add ons). I didnt expect to be sold out until late may but Im very thankful that it has happened already. The question now becomes do i add labor and continue selling or sit tight as planned...

It's still early enough to find labor (esp. students), so keep selling! I like the new look, very clean and uncluttered. Looks good.

Don't ever stop growing when the opportunity presents itself. It's only a matter of time before your market hits a bump, and you would wish you had the work.

Nice signage...simple, large, easy to read and un complicated.
