Picked Up The Trailer

[Enes]

Yeah i'd like to get some towing done with it to help pay for itself or at least get some money back from it... i doubt it will be able to pay for itself within next year but you never know hopefully with this site and a few other local sites if you guys can spread the word that would be awesome :)

You know us E. There is always some dead thing being towed to the shop, you can move them all for us. We will put the word out as well.

I know of one car you can take from the shop and do whatever you please with it... :razz2:

Awesome set up E! And thanks again for the tow!

geez nash why did you need a tow, taking it to the body shop after you backed into Ryan down at Dodd? dont blame you though hes not the easiest to see of the rear spoiler! :lol:

So how do you have your pricing set up? I might need a tow.

[Enes]

Depending on the job, mostly its going to be $40 plus $1.5/mile

other places will charge you $60 to $80 for flatbed plus $2.50 to $3.50/ mile...

So this way you are getting 50% discount.

Plus we can always talk about pricing if you don't like it or think its too cheap i do definetely accept tips :)

Edit:
depending on the time involved of the job and if you are towing it to the few local shops ie. QPR or Elite for them to do some work on the car i'll alwys give good deals as long as it will give them work as well!!! gotta support the local businesses!


I just got raped by the License thingamajiggy.. if i want to do it as a business they want tax off every tow plus extra licensing and also highway taxes or whatever frick she said.. it was going to be about $900 / year for this thing.. but then i told her its only personal and for friends.. (all of you are now my friends, like it or not) and she said then its not business.. and only charged me $350 ...

something about dual axles etc etc extra weight and crap..

The truck is a 2500 turbo cummins diesel. I've had it for about 2 years now, i haven't had many problems withit except trany and that was a $16 part. The nly other problem i'm having with it now is KDP, which is a pin that sometimes wears thru the aluminum housing and falls out. and causes oil leak thru the front assembly. I don't know if thats what it is or just blow by because there is no oil on the ground but its just caked a little in the engine bay. Other than that it lights them up even with Mikes car on the back :)


The one i got you can get for anywhere from dirt cheap starting at 2500 for a 16footer , but once you upgrade to 6 inch I beams, add better jack, better axles better tires, longer bed longer beaver tail longer ramps electric brakes, gooseneck hookup on the truck, electric brakes hookup, add painting as well instead of priming and you get the better paint, and then you add removable fenders for guys who have lovered their cars.. it adds up to somewhere around $5k, but i had a hookup from a guy that owed me a few favors... so i got it a bit cheaper. The guy that i had built doesn't do many on the side because he builds for the few bigger shops in the town, he sells around 1200 trailers/year.

Thanx for referals, it is greatly apretiated guys!! Hopefully i get enough towing done that it pays off the trailer and maybe pays for some of my time and a few mods on the money hungry DSM.
