FAQ about Plain Ol' Trailers' Cargo Trailers, Pricing and Delivery

Q: How long will it take to get my trailer?

A: Most common sizes of enclosed cargo trailers are kept in stock. Special orders can take a week in slow season, longer in busy season. Trailers with options can take longer, depending on the options selected. Flooring, A/C, and electrical can add from a few days to, in rare cases, a few weeks to your build. It’s best to ask your sales rep about custom trailers!
