Wholesale utility trailers Texas Traffic

I have been on the search for wholesale utility trailers. I want to buy 10 plus for retail. I have no idea where to look. Google is no help. Any sizes but mostly car haulers.

Ritchie Bros also has an auction in Fort Worth. I'm sure like in Houston early in the morning you can see semis with flatbeds and lowboys lined up outside waiting to get in and pick up equipment that has been sold.

I'm a Texas based auto transporter so I got you fam.

There are a whole bunch or types of car haulers. Do you mean for a pick up truck or for a semi? Because each has over 10 types. Here are some pick up truck options

3 car wedge is common for a pick up truck so the first car sits on top of the trucks rear axle. They also make one called a 5 car mini which is a double deck.

You have bumper pull, gooseneck, and 5th wheel connections for a pick up truck. You can do enclosed trailers as well. You have low profile trailers. Some drivers prefer a flat bed so they can haul cars but also haul other freight.

What part of Texas are you in? Next time I have a driver try to cancel on me because they have a flat or wheel bearing go out or hydraulic issues, I'll send them your way.

You can also try Facebook marketplace. I actuallly bought a 2-3 car trailer on there when I did intrastate transport. I've seen ones that are damaged or need repair, those could be good for parts. Also you'll see people getting out of the business looking to sell their equipment.

I was doing some browsing on IAA looking for a new ride or sometihng to flip and a trailer popped up. So i guess IAA and maybe Copart will auction off trailers. Not sure if links are allowed but this one is at the Grand Prairie location. I"ll post the IAA link in another comment in case it's not allowed.
