Trailer rig question

admin

How many of you pull your trailer rig with you when you go out to round up new work?  I sometimes do, but I cover more ground without it and do more PR work this way?  Plus I can save on fuel when i'm out drumming up new work.Salas Repair General Welding & Fabrication
Reply:I have a trailer but my rig is on the truck.  I use the trailer for picking up materials or for transporting projects built in the shop for on site install, as well as personal uses.   If had to drag that thing around with me everywhere I wouldn't want to do mobile work.   Having everything on the truck is alot more convenient and easier to get around cause alot of times the places I get sent to are not conducive to manuevering a 20' trailer.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
Reply:I know the feeling Desert! Out here almost all of our field work is just that!! Work in the farmer's fields, construction sites, or lumber sites down 4x4 only dirt/mud/brush roads and hillsides.  Would play hell trying to get a trailer in & out of those spots.Co-Own CNC shop:Miller :1251 plasma cutter, MaxStar 700 TIG/Stick, & XMT 456 Multiprocess Welder.&  2 Hypertherm HPR260's Plasma CutterSorry I had a bad stroke but now I am back.
Reply:Originally Posted by 7A749I used to haul mine around, but nobody gives a rip around here.Just more of a nusance than anything these days. I'll stick to machine repair & resale.Hacks galore around here with a Bobcat in the back of a pickup truck working for $30/Hr.Hard to even think of competing with that. Most here don't care about quality, just the cheapest cost they can get it fixed. If someone can hack it back together, good enough.Now, mine just holds down the concrete more than anything else.Looks pretty tho.
