Becoming an owner-operator with your own truck and van trailer is an option that many trucking industry professionals often consider. Most would agree that working for themselves beats working for someone else any day. The initial cost of purchasing a truck and van trailer, however, is enough to get some of the most ambitious truckers in the industry back to signing employee papers.

While used trucks can often be found relatively inexpensively by searching used truck web sites, truckers who want to be their own bosses are still left with the cost of the van trailer. But using the same reasoning works for van trailer purchases as well. Truckers can purchase used van trailers online, often for less than $2,000.

By looking for used van trailers online, truckers not only save money, but also they get the chance to get just what they need for the price they wan to pay. For instance, truckers can find a four-foot, 1984 BUDD trailer online for around $1800. While most truckers who are looking for a four-foot trailer might have to settle for something larger and more expensive, purchasing from this web site allows them not only to get a deal, but also to get exactly what they want.

If you're looking for more impressive wares, however, online classified web sites have some of the newest van trailers available, even some 2008 models. So whether you're looking for an old beater just to get started or you're a veteran trucker looking for a state-of-the-art van trailer, you'll find it with online classified web sites.

While setting out to buy a truck and trailer is a big leap of faith and a big leap of finance, owner-operators can find the perfect van trailer at the perfect price.
