Delivery & Pickup
Free within 50 milesEvery trailer we sell delivers free within 50 miles of our lot on the Evangeline Thruway. Not "free with purchase over" or "free this month" — free, on every trailer, every time. Our truck, our driver. We hook it up, walk you through the lights, brakes and coupler, and you sign the receipt.
Town Picker
Pick your town. Road miles are measured from our lot at 2601 SE Evangeline Thruway, Lafayette. Anything at 50 or under is free. Anything past it, we still deliver — you just get a quote first.
Ten Acadiana towns are inside the free zone. Five bigger runs are listed too, so you know before you ask.
Miles are road miles on the main route from the lot and are approximate; towns marked approx. we haven't clocked on the odometer yet. Right at the line, or your town isn't listed? Text us the address and we'll tell you which side of 50 you're on before you buy anything.
How It Works
No freight company, no "allow 2–4 weeks," no trailer dropped at the curb by a stranger. It's our truck and one of our people, and the job isn't done until you've seen the lights blink.
Choose your trailer on the lot or on the website. Once the paperwork's done — cash, financed, or rent-to-own — we put you on the delivery board and set the day with you before you leave. (How fast? See "How soon can you deliver?" below.)
Home, shop, job site, camp — anywhere our truck can get in and out. We set a delivery time with you so you're not waiting on a window. You just need to be there, or have someone there who can sign for it.
We put it on your ball, check the coupler latch and safety chains, plug it in and run the lights with you watching. Electric brakes? We check the controller and the breakaway. You'll know how everything on the trailer works before we leave.
The receipt confirms the trailer you got and the walk-through you just watched. Sign it, keep your copy, and the trailer's yours. Questions in six months? Same shop, same phone number.
Or Skip The Wait
Want it today? Come to 2601 SE Evangeline Thruway, do the paperwork, and we hook you up right there on the lot — same walk-through, same receipt. Pickup is free no matter where you live, which makes it the easy answer if you're outside the 50-mile zone.

Past The Line
Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, Alexandria, Houma, Beaumont — we run those trips. Past 50 miles, delivery is $3 per loaded mile from our lot (only the miles past 50 count), and you get the number before you commit to anything. No freight-company middleman, and the same hook-up and walk-through when we get there.
Three things and we can quote it in one text: your address, which trailer, and when you want it.
Do The Math
The out-of-state mega-dealer's "free shipping" is a freight truck, a 1–4 week window, and a trailer left at the end of your driveway with nobody to check the lights. Ours is a person you can call the next day. Inside 50 miles it costs you nothing; past that, you'll know the mile charge before you say yes — and you can always drive in and pick it up free.
Straight Answers
Yes. Every trailer, every time, no minimum purchase, no delivery line on the invoice. Free within 50 road miles of our lot has been the deal since we opened in 2016 and it isn't changing.
In-stock trailers usually go out the same or next business day once the paperwork's done. Factory orders and incoming units deliver as soon as they land on our lot and get prepped.
Goosenecks need a gooseneck-equipped truck and food trailers are heavy, so these runs get scheduled a little differently — text us the unit and your address and we'll confirm the day.
You, or someone you trust to sign for it, needs to be there for the delivery receipt and the walk-through. If your truck is there too, we'll hook the trailer to it and prove the lights on your plug — that's the best way to do it.
Yes — any address our truck and trailer can get in and out of. Gravel, job sites, camps down a shell road, all fine. Just tell us if the ground is soft after a rain or the gate is narrow so we send the right rig.
We measure road miles from 2601 SE Evangeline Thruway, not straight-line. Text us your address and we'll tell you which side of the line you're on before you buy — no surprises on the invoice.
$3 per loaded mile for every mile past 50, measured from our lot to your address — pick your town on this page for the estimate, and we confirm the number before you commit. Or skip it entirely: pickup at the lot is free from anywhere, and the walk-through is the same.
The title and registration side is handled at the sale — we do that paperwork with you, whether you're paying cash, financing, or going rent-to-own. Delivery day is about the trailer itself: hook-up, lights, brakes, coupler, and the receipt.
Ready?
Around 30 trailers on the lot at any time — enclosed cargo, utility, dump, gooseneck, equipment — and every one of them delivers free within 50 miles of Lafayette.
