The Local Difference
Big out-of-state dealers will happily ship a trailer into Lafayette sight-unseen. Here's what they can't ship with it: a walk around the lot before you pay, a hitch pin in your truck the same day, and a real shop that answers the phone after the sale.
Six Reasons
Walk the lot. Open the doors. Check the welds, the floor, the tires — with your own eyes, before a dollar changes hands. A photo gallery from five hours away can't do that.
Almost nobody in the trailer business offers this — we do, on every trailer, every time. Lafayette, Broussard, Youngsville, New Iberia, Opelousas, Crowley: we bring it to your driveway free.
In-stock means in stock. Pick it, do the paperwork, hitch up, gone — same day. No freight window, no "allow 2–4 weeks," no deposit-and-wait.
Bearings, brakes, lights, gates — our shop works on what we sell (and what we didn't sell). The mega-dealer that shipped it to you won't be driving down to fix it.
Bank rates for strong credit, 60-second decisions for fair credit, and two no-credit-check rent-to-own partners for everyone else. See the whole menu →
Family-owned in Lafayette since 2016. The person who sells you the trailer is the person who answers when you call about it in two years.
Do The Math
