- Verify the trailer type and dimensions
- Confirm whether the listing is dry van, flatbed, reefer, lowboy, dump, tank, or specialty, then verify length, width, axle setup, and any door or ramp details.
- Ask about wear points
- Floor condition, suspension, brakes, tires, lights, landing gear, doors, and corrosion can materially change what the trailer is worth.
- Confirm paperwork and pickup details
- Before money changes hands, confirm title or bill-of-sale expectations, pickup location, loading requirements, and who is responsible for transport.
