Good to know
When we're not the best buyer
A late-model reefer with a healthy, low-hour unit can bring more through a dealer or an equipment auction. If yours is one of those, we'll tell you.
Questions
Common questions
Can you give a price over the phone?
A rough idea, yes. A firm number needs a few photos.
Is a reefer worth more than a dry van?
Usually, if the unit works. A dead unit narrows the gap.
Do you charge for pickup?
No. Pickup is built into the offer.
